"I voted in favour of this report, because in order to achieve the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and integrate a still larger share of renewable energy sources into the energy mix beyond 2020, there is a need to upgrade and modernise the EU’s energy infrastructure. Furthermore, we need to develop smart and super grids, build interconnections and extend gas grids, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance security of supply. An EU approach to improving Europe’s energy infrastructure is necessary as individual Member States cannot achieve this on their own. It should be noted that environmental benefits do not necessarily occur in those countries that make the required investments, and therefore we need to think about long term objectives, so that energy infrastructure planned today would serve us well for several decades. I agree with the European Parliament’s position that it is essential to draw all the necessary conclusions from the existing directives and the provisions of the so-called third internal energy market package and then to establish the basis for planning and investment in the European network. We also need to establish improved EU financial instruments to back regional and local authorities as they seek to invest in sustainable energy production."@en1
