lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I would like to welcome Mr Angelakas’ report today. In his report Mr Angelakas supports the European Commission’s proposals to provide funding material for the Member States from the European Regional Development Fund for energy efficiency and for renewable energy in relation to housing. We are struggling with an economic emergency. People who work in the construction industry – in my own country, in Ireland, for example – have been left in particular difficulty. I hope we will be able to provide part-funding for a renovation programme for energy efficiency as a result of this decision of the EU. Such a programme will improve the construction industry in Ireland – North and South – which will assist in keeping jobs as well as fulfilling our duties in relation to climate change, and, as was previously said in this debate, regarding the tackling of fuel poverty. That is, assisting people who are spending a high proportion of their income on fuel costs. In my opinion, it is fitting that the Commission focussed on housing for people on low incomes as a target for this change in the criteria. It is mostly these people on low incomes who will suffer as our economy worsens. At the same time, these people will be unable to renovate their homes for energy efficiency without financial assistance. This scheme would succeed, therefore, in addressing the worst consequences of fuel poverty which are having an extremely negative effect on many people – if this scheme were to be used properly. I hope that the local, regional and national authorities would take this opportunity and would not deny the provision of those relevant resources which they already have to bring the proposal into effect."@en1
