"The objective of ‘universal access to energy by 2030’ was launched in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In developing countries, households generally spend a high percentage of their budget on the purchase of low-quality fuels for heating and cooking compared with households with access to electricity and to liquid and gas fuels. In developing countries, sustainable energy access for the poor faces a number of barriers, notably: the inability of the poor to pay for the services, investment costs, connection costs and no national capacity to produce the energy generation equipment and spare parts required. The report stresses that, whilst none of the MDGs are specifically related to energy, access to modern, sustainable energy services for all is a prerequisite for achieving the MDGs. We now need to bring energy to the fore in the debate on the eradication of poverty, by establishing a specific programme focusing on ‘energy and development’ within the framework of the European Union’s development cooperation policy. It is for these priorities that I voted in favour of this report."@en1
