"Universal access to energy sources is still not a reality throughout the world. In large parts of the planet, people face serious difficulties in accessing them and in having them available in sufficient quality and quantity such that they can be guaranteed a life of minimum comfort in which obtaining energy ceases to be one of a family group’s main preoccupations. As the world’s largest donor, the European Union should be aware of this inequality and contribute to minimising it. To that end, it should seek to help the countries and people in greatest need, to enable energy access and, wherever possible, to boost opportunities for the beneficiaries of the aid themselves to generate and manage their own energy. It will be hard without more and better energy access to successfully eradicate poverty from many areas of the globe. It therefore falls to the European Union to make part of this collective effort, which the authorities of the countries in receipt of aid cannot themselves shirk. It should be required of these that they put the received funds to proper use and that they make an effort to spread energy access amongst their citizens, particularly amongst those in greatest need of it."@en1
