Mr President, I wish to thank the rapporteur for the huge job he has undertaken.
The sustainable and increased use of renewable energy sources is a positive solution for the regions. It will create new jobs, improve self-sufficiency in energy, and, at the same time, be an important contribution to the control of climate change. Moreover, it will promote the global market in machinery and equipment that are used in the production of renewable energy.
In its opinion, the Committee on Regional Development emphasised the crucial importance of the regions and of the local level focus in the implementation of the directive. Much cooperation is needed in this area. We also need the exchange of good experiences, and research, product development and pilot projects.
Conditions and climatic factors vary a good deal between the Member States and regions. This is also evident from the compromise proposal, which would enable our Committee, for example, to propose the sustainable but small-scale use of peat in production processes.
It is important that we can adopt the compromise reached on this directive as part of what is a historic climate and energy package."@en1
