". Mr President, at this point in time it is necessary for the European Union to take immediate measures to improve energy efficiency. We must therefore take pleasure from the fact that we have been able to reach an agreement amongst the institutions which has the majority support of this House. Within this context, I would like to congratulate our rapporteur, Mrs Mechtild Rothe, on her magnificent work and the other shadow rapporteurs on their constructive attitude throughout the procedure. This directive is intended to promote the development of an energy services market which, although it is already in existence, is not sufficiently well known to the final customers. We are presenting options that do not require additional investments, such as energy savings contracts, the amount of which is paid with the equivalent of the energy bill saved following the alterations. This directive also attempts to influence the consumer habits of the citizens. In this respect, it is the appropriate approach to take in order to provide them with detailed information about their real consumption and savings potential, if certain measures are taken, such as the use of intelligent meters. In relation to the public sector, we must stress the exemplary role that the Member States must play by including energy efficiency criteria for public contracts. Over the first nine years they will draw up three energy efficiency action plans, which will detail the measures taken and the future objectives. Mr President, I would like to end by reiterating that our group is entirely satisfied with this agreement, since we believe that realistic objectives, accompanied by economically viable and technically possible measures, are the ideal formula for achieving positive results."@en1
