".
Madam President, I have already listened to the views of my fellow Members who emphasised how important coal is to the European economy’s energy security.
I would like to introduce another argument. In some countries, including Romania, in years affected by drought – which have been growing in number – there is a fall in the production of hydroelectric and nuclear energy. The only resource which my country and other countries have had at their immediate disposal for increasing energy production has been coal.
We have a number of mines which are not profitable, but they have restructuring programmes extending beyond 2014. As a liberal, I am against subsidies being granted to commercial companies, but not in the case of companies which have definite restructuring programmes. As a result, I am going to support the amendment which proposes a longer transition period for discontinuing the subsidies granted to unprofitable coal mines."@en1
