I broadly share the rapporteur’s concerns with regard to the need to promote the rational use of energy and to the strategic preference for non-polluting forms of energy. In fact, in addition to the lower volume of CO2 emissions that it will lead to, the decentralising nature of cogeneration generally hampers the construction of major energy-producing units, thereby diminishing the environmental effects of their infrastructures and their lines of transmission.
It has become clear from the discussion on this issue that this is not fundamentally a political issue, but rather a technical one. This is why instead of the expected split between right and left, we have seen the various approaches that northern and southern Europe are bound to bring to the problem due to the differences in their climates. These differences must be taken into account, just as we will have to look into the feasibility of the requirement for Member States to present detailed reports on their national potentials.
Despite the perception that some procedures and technical definitions concerning the use of cogeneration remain contradictory, I believe the principles guiding the drafting of this report to be broadly correct, and I agree with the compromise approach that ultimately emerged from the work undertaken in the Commission.
I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
