lpv:translated text	"I would first of all like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mrs Podimata, for her report. I believe that the directive on labelling and informing consumers about products’ energy consumption is of paramount importance. The European Union has proposed to cut energy consumption by 20%. If we manage to inform consumers correctly so that they have an option available to them based on the information they have been given, then we can actually cut energy consumption for products currently in use too. As regards labelling, it must be simple; this is a vital element. It must also be complete and naturally offer consumers the information which they need to be able to make the necessary investment. This is why I believe that it is important for the label to mention information about energy consumption or about the energy savings which could be made. In addition, I think that it is important to have this A-G scale, which is simple. However, I would like to mention that I believe it is important for the period of validity to be specified so that the consumer has information even from the time when certain products are advertised. I do not believe that the obligation to provide information about energy consumption will interfere in any way with the freedom of expression and the provisions concerning the mass media. I think that it is in all our interests to have well-informed consumers who can make an enlightened decision to reduce their energy consumption. I would like to congratulate the rapporteur. This is a very important document which is part of an energy efficiency package. I will continue to support us having an interesting debate, even during second reading."@en1
