lpv:translated text	"We have to acknowledge the fact, ladies and gentlemen, that there is a somewhat bittersweet flavour to today’s debate and tomorrow’s vote in this House, which have both a light and a dark side. The dark side is that the intensity and speed of this procedure that we have undertaken have left a large number of Members of this House feeling cut off and excluded from much of the debate on a package of measures that we all know is surely the most important one in this parliamentary term. On the light side, I am convinced that the outcome of these marathon negotiations is, we can finally say, satisfactory. This is a joint debate on the whole package, but right now we are talking about the renewables directive, and I would like to highlight some points specifically about this subject. First, it rightly keeps the proportion of biofuels at 10%, because if we have a problem in Europe it is the problem of security of supply. The national support plans, which are continuing as well, have been very successful in certain Member States, particularly in Spain. The fact that these are being maintained is, therefore, also very good news in my view. The flexibility mechanisms are aimed at helping those Member States with less potential to take part in this ambitious project to boost renewables, by joining forces with those Member States that have great potential. This too is a highly positive contribution. Furthermore, this renewables directive is surely sending to Europe’s industries a very strong, clear message that will encourage them to act with confidence and certainty. That will open up huge business and job creation opportunities, both within Europe and globally. In short, this package of legislation is opening up a new era of commitment to environmental quality of such size and scope ..."@en1
