"Mr President, I should like to thank the rapporteur for his report. I would remind the House that, prior to the Council meeting, a compromise was reached on three of the six reports in the energy and climate package. The compromise was not a sound one. At the time, one could say that, as a common position on half of the directives had been agreed, Europe’s energy and industry glass was half full. Nonetheless, a sceptic would be bound to point out that the aforementioned glass remained half empty. After the summit, however, the Union’s glass is now full to the brim.
The compromise is not an easy one. It obliges the Member States, new ones included, to make a huge economic effort regardless of the circumstances. Standards in the compromise version have been ratcheted up, and a high level set for our region. We should bear in mind that all these figures and indicators that it is so easy to commit to paper will determine the actual tangible funds generated by our taxes. They will also determine the fate of real jobs that are under threat."@en1
