Summary of the main provisions discussed in Slovenia and Spain.

	Measure	Description and evaluation
Slovenia	EE targets	More ambitious targets to be achieved by 2030: for its primary (6.36 Mtoe) and final (4.72 Mtoe) energy consumptions; and overall improvement by 35% in comparison to only 20% by 2020.
	EEOS/alternative measures	A combination of energy efficiency obligation schemes and alternative measures; Need of the improvement of the monitoring of the scheme; Utilisation of Eco Funds.

Spain	EE targets	More ambitious targets to be achieved by 2030; for its primary (98.5 Mtoe) and final (73.6 Mtoe) energy consumptions; and overall improvement by 39.5% in comparison to its revised target of 24.2% by 2020.
	EEOS/alternative measures	A combination of energy efficiency obligation schemes and alternative measures; A sectorial approach; Utilisation of the FNEE, including the investments to replace low energy equipment/to implement energy management systems.
	Audits/Management systems	Relies the EU definition of SMEs, to define its large companies for the Audit obligation.
	Efficiency in Cooling & Heating	Essential focus on transforming ageing CHP units into high efficiency CHP units; Support mechanism based on the competitive tendering procedure which incorporates more market-based principles.
