lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, our group obviously takes a positive view of improved energy efficiency. On the Committee we voted in favour of the numerous amendments made to Mr Vidal-Quadras’s report. The end result is acceptable to us, working on the principle that the forest is more important than the trees. The Union lacks a transport energy efficiency policy. I welcomed the Commissioner’s promise to produce a document on energy efficiency in transport in the near future. Possible areas where savings can be made mostly relate to different buildings and their heating and air-conditioning needs. Improved energy efficiency in buildings will call for new investment and new technology, but there are no alternatives to it. When Finland was part of Russia, the tsarist authorities taught the Finns discipline by sending our fellow countrymen to Siberia. This worked on the principle that Siberia teaches you a lesson. From the point of view of energy efficiency, rising energy prices are the EU’s Siberia. Expensive energy teaches you a lesson. What does it teach you? It teaches you to save energy. In this report we aspire to big savings, and the message to the Commission is a long one, but it is crystal clear."@en1
