"Public access to modern energy services is a basic condition for reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development. However, according to the global statistics for 2011, published by the International Energy Agency, around 1.3 billion people do not have access to electricity. Given that energy services have a direct impact on every aspect of people’s lives and livelihoods, I think that the international community needs to focus much greater attention on the importance of energy access, and development policies must be aligned with this objective. At the same time, the European Union must devise, as part of EU development cooperation, a specific programme for ‘energy and development’, with the main aim of facilitating universal energy access. This will enable us to make a significant contribution to raising the standard of living of those currently affected, as well as to eradicating poverty across the world."@en1
