"The thorough report by my colleague Mrs Thomsen will help us live in a cleaner environment and resist climate change. Ambitious action plans on renewable energy at European and national level as well as monitoring of their implementation will be included in the Common European Energy Policy and reduce dependency on energy supplies from third countries.
However, some countries have significant water, solar or wind energy potential, while other countries have less potential. Therefore, action plans for different countries should be drawn up individually, with everything calculated on a real basis.
It would be useful if the European Commission were to direct support from the structural funds towards the production of renewable energy as well as the insulation and heating of residential blocks. The use of renewable energy should also be promoted in fiscal policy. In Europe, we face a rise in food prices related to the increasing demands of biofuel. That cannot be.
What can an ordinary EU citizen living from salary to salary say if the need to increase the use of renewable energy sources cause higher electricity and housing prices? The market cannot regulate everything. It is necessary to provide assistance for those in financial difficulty, especially those who are suffering the most from rising energy prices.
Generally speaking, I am sure that we will have to change our lifestyle and limit our extravagant consumption in the future. Human beings have harmed the planet and it is therefore our responsibility to help it recover."@en1
