"The Millennium Development Goals will not be achieved unless significant progress is made on improving energy access. Worldwide, there are 1.3 billion people who have no access to electricity, and 2.7 billion who have no clean cooking facilities. This creates indoor smoke in houses: a serious problem responsible for over 1.4 million premature deaths.
An increase of 1% in current energy consumption is all that is needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in developing countries. Access to sustainable, up-to-date energy services must be ensured in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and eradicate poverty.
I fully support the rapporteur’s recommendations in relation to the establishment of a specific ‘energy and development’ programme within EU development cooperation, with special focus on universal energy access. The EU must strengthen development cooperation by sharing information on and technological experience of energy matters with developing countries."@en1
