"I voted in favour of this document because access to modern energy services is a fundamental prerequisite for poverty reduction and the promotion of sustainable human development. Without a dramatic intervention to improve the situation, around 67% of the population will still lack access to electricity in 2015. During the last decade, financial assistance to provide energy access to the poor has been modest. Bilateral cooperation between the EU Member States providing aid in the area of energy has primarily been focused on economic growth and environmental objectives, rather than on energy access for the poor. Transparent and democratic participation by civil society, local authorities and regulators in the energy sector is important to enable them to supervise the provision of universal energy access, to ensure good governance and fair competition, and to curb corruption."@en1
