The aim of this document is to provide insight into energy policy measures in each end-use sector in the EU (industry, transport and buildings), as well as at the overall policy level. It summarises three sectoral reports on industry, transport, buildings that are available on the ODYSSEE web site (www.odyssee-indicators.org). This should help policy makers and other parties involved in energy efficiency and CO2 emission reduction to adapt current policies and to define new, effective policy measures. Although the main focus is on the improvement of energy efficiency, other drivers affecting the energy demand trend, such as industrial growth, structural changes, lifestyle changes, are also considered.
