"Madam President, Europe and the entire world now find themselves in a situation where oil prices can determine not only economic growth, but also the depth of the crisis that is beginning to be felt in the market in food and in the fisheries sector. Problems in the transport sector are likely to arise very soon.
What action is called for? In the long term, a stable widely understood energy policy should be developed. There has been much debate on the subject in the Union and in this House. In the short term, aid should be directed at specific sectors. By way of example I could mention targeted aid for farmers, fishermen and hauliers. The aid should be made available as early as the second half of this year. I must emphasise that I am referring to targeted specific aid at a specific time of year. Action to limit speculation and monopolistic practices should be taken too.
Finally, we should recognise that a review of taxation policy is needed, both at Union level and at the level of individual Member States."@en1
