"Mr President, I am sorry but, despite the fact that the oil crisis has been with us for a year, the Commission's response is, at the very least, relaxed and the Council's is non-existent. We have heard today, yet again, excellent pronouncements which, however, are not accompanied by concomitant measures. This shows a lack of perspicacity.
I ask you: have drastic measures been taken to mitigate the dependency on oil? Have solutions been sought in the energy-intensive transport sector, which consumes 70% of total production? The answer, unfortunately, is 'no'.
The conclusion is that the increase in oil prices, in conjunction with the natural disasters, due – in great part – to the careless consumption of mineral fuels, imposes the need to abandon an energy-intensive development model and quickly develop alternative forms of energy. However, in order to achieve this, we need money and, unfortunately, both the Council and the Commission refuse the idea of a special fuel tax to finance this investment in the future."@en1
