"Firstly I would like to congratulate our rapporteur for the excellent work. It is no mean achievement to work out around fifty compromises with the Council and the five different factions of Parliament. In view of the forward-looking and very positive results, I would like to indicate that this draft is only the first step in enhancing energy consumption efficiency. This is something that we should not forget when we start addressing the financing issues of the implementation. In Hungary there are 800 000 prefabricated flats, where heating constitutes 54% of the household running costs. The individual modernisation of these flats is an absolute necessity if we want to improve energy efficiency. This would cost in excess of 40 000 euros per flat, with a payback period of 25 years. In view of the low financing capacity of the population and local governments, the Hungarian state has started a large scale, long term refurbishment project of prefabricated flats. Basically this means that the state advances the funds required for the modernisation work to the consumers, and the population repays them from their energy savings. We spent 15 million euros on this project in 2004, and 32 million euros in 2005. It will be very important to remember, when we work on the 2007-2013 budget of the European Union, that in order to reach the important energy efficiency targets stipulated in the currently debated draft, more than half a million, mostly modest households will need financial assistance from the European Union in Hungary only. Thank you for your attention, on their behalf, too."@en1
