"Having been consulted by the Commission, the European Parliament was called on to give its verdict, this Tuesday 23 November, on the issue of State aid to facilitate the closure of uncompetitive coal mines. The main stumbling block was the cut-off date for that State aid. The Commission proposed 1 October 2014. For environmental reasons, I believe it is important to diversify our sources of energy production and to promote sustainable production methods. 2014 would therefore seem to be a reasonable cut-off date. However, given the social impact of mine closures and the difficulties involved in redeploying miners, support must be provided during the closure process. The majority of the European Parliament has therefore decided to extend the provision of State aid until 31 December 2018. I decided to abstain from this final vote because I believe that the most important thing is to give priority to sustainable energy sources but, at the same time, it is also important to bear in mind the economic and social consequences of mine closures."@en1
