"Despite all the fine speeches on climate, Europe will still be clinging onto its coal­black past by adopting this report. Under the Europe 2020 strategy, the EU would like to move swiftly towards a low emissions future based on renewable forms of energy. These will merely be words, however, if, in the future, Parliament allows the Member States to squander billions on its coal mines. The current rules on aid would have expired in December, but in the Commission’s proposals, they would be extended until 2014. The coal­black gloom is intensified by the fact that Parliament wants the rules on aid to be extended all the way to 2018. Two years ago, aid from the EU Member States to industry that produced and used hard coal, that is to say, anthracite, was as much as EUR 2.9 billion. That only shows that there is still many times more aid for fossil fuels than there is for renewable energy sources, and this despite the fact that our targets on climate would call for just the opposite policy."@en1
