lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, first of all, let me say that the Commissioner is the one who is proposing this additional approach to energy efficiency and I fully trust that he is doing his best to achieve that goal. We are also trying to link this energy issue to other policy objectives, like the fight against climate change. That said, we believe this is not just a matter of setting targets, it is also about work in the Member States, and so we believe that it is better for the Member States to establish their own national targets and then we shall see. If they are on track, great. If not, we will at least propose binding legislation. But to achieve success, it is sometimes better to start with a kind of voluntary target. At least, that is what we have done in the past and it has proved to be the right approach. We do not exclude – quite the contrary – a possible need for binding targets for each country, but let us also give the Member States ownership of this policy and see how they develop their strategy."@en1
