The essential problem of developing countries with regard to energy – in contrast to the situation in more developed countries – is not the replacement of current production sources with other, less polluting ones. The essential problem is one of access to any sources of energy at all. Note that two thousand million citizens do not have access to electricity. So in order to achieve the dual objective of democratising access to electricity without worsening the greenhouse effect, it is fundamental that we should support the transfer of technology and the financing of environmentally beneficial projects. It is unacceptable that the European Union should send its most obsolete technology to developing countries. I welcome the efforts made by the European Union at Johannesburg for there to be binding targets for renewable energies, and the initiatives launched at that summit to get businesses involved. I believe the rapporteur has made an excellent contribution to this cooperative effort to share the best technologies."@en1
