The existing Energy Taxation Directive, adopted in 2003, was concerned primarily with preventing distortions of competition in the energy sector within the internal market. The proposal for a revised directive changes the structure of energy taxation in order to support the aim of a low-carbon, energy-efficient economy and to avoid problems in the internal market. By introducing a CO
based element into energy taxation, the proposal seeks to bring it into line with the EU’s commitments on combating climate change. I voted in favour because I believe a text has been achieved that balances the very variable needs of the energy sector and its economic impact."@en1
