I feel that Mr Langen’s report on a strategy for biomass and biofuels successfully describes all of the advantages and disadvantages of using renewable energy sources.
However, I should like to point out a few amendments tabled within the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development that have not been accepted.
Firstly, while renewables can help reduce the European Union’s energy dependence, we must also take a broader look at our energy consumption and, thus, at our lifestyles and production methods so that we consume better but, above all, so that we consume less.
Next, we should not launch into an intensive and high productivity-focused process for manufacturing renewable energy sources, as this would have harmful environmental, economic and social consequences and would not fall within the European sustainable development strategy.
The main function of agriculture must remain food production. Forest resources must be exploited in moderation. Cogeneration must be the rule where biomass production is concerned.
Finally, we must organise and improve the channels for supplying, distributing and marketing agricultural and forestry raw materials and energy produced at local market level by preventing excessive journey times."@en1
