"Mr President, we should be pleased that the European Union has taken an important step to protect life on earth and has confirmed its global leadership in the fight against climate change.
Now that we agree on the objective and the commitment, we need to look closely at how to implement the aims. It was vital to commit to the use of renewable energy sources in order to satisfy our future energy needs. Many renewables, however, are still in the development phase, and at the same time a good deal of energy-efficient practices are only waiting to be introduced. The Member States now have a job to do. Now we need to invest heavily in energy efficiency.
Biofuels and bioenergy also need developing, though at the same time we have to ensure that the environmental friendliness of the entire life cycle of such energy sources is also taken into consideration at global level, as has been said here. For this we need a system of certification to serve as a guide to the right production methods.
All in all, we, as Europeans, have the opportunity to emerge as a leader in energy technology. As Commissioner Verheugen said, we need answers from industry to the question of what is possible. For much is possible."@en1
