lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a sensible energy policy should aim to change behaviour at every stage. So promoting energy efficiency should also be a natural part of any energy policy. If we take the Kyoto targets seriously – as we hopefully do – then we must also follow them up with the relevant tools and resources. In the programme we have before us, tools and funding are both inadequate and are not given a high enough priority. In view of the obligations we have assumed in regard to CO2 reduction, it is urgently necessary to establish ambitious efficiency targets. I therefore find it incomprehensible that the Commission wants to enhance levels of final energy by only 1 percentage point per year. As Mrs Ahern pointed out, the target ought to be at least 1.5%, and the budget ought also to be larger. Unlike the previous speaker, I do see the need for a reduction in CO2 emissions linked to programmes for renewable energy sources, such as the ALTENER programme. Linking of this kind means that nuclear power cannot merely be left, as some would wish, to replace existing power stations which pollute the atmosphere with CO2 emissions. It is often emphasised that nuclear power is one of the cleanest energy sources and does not discharge greenhouse gases. I totally disagree with this. Technical progress in recent years has markedly improved the efficiency of renewable energy sources and, instead of giving so many resources to the nuclear industry in Europe as the Community is notorious for doing, efforts to promote renewable energy sources should be strengthened. I am also completely in agreement with Mr Van Velzen in believing that the countries of Central and Eastern Europe should be permitted to take part in this programme."@en1
