We briefly summarise and further discuss the observational implications of the model-independent scheme recently put forward by us for the reconstruction of dark energy. The scheme employs rather weak geometrical features of the luminosity-distance relation motivated by recent observations. Using the SNLS supernovae data, the reconstructed luminosity-distance curves best fitting the data are shown to favour a Universe with a varying dark energy density, expanding at a slower rate than the Λ CDM model. The Λ CDM model. however, cannot be ruled out at high significance levels, in line with other recent reconstructions. We highlight the degeneracy concerning the CDM density parameter Ωm_0, which acts as a barrier against a conclusive determination of whether the dark agency is the cosmological constant.
