"Mr President, Mr Turmes has done an admirable job because he needed courage to move forward with this type of legislation and he has been capable of neutralising the obstacles, which were many and cleverly placed. It was worth the effort, because energy efficiency and energy savings are requirements of any energy policy worthy of that name.
We must welcome significant measures such as the requirement to renovate public buildings, the imposition of a cumulative energy savings percentage on energy companies, as well as compulsory audits imposed on large private companies.
The work done by Mr Turmes and the other rapporteurs will be in vain if it is not accompanied by decisive action from the Member States. This action must, in turn, be accompanied by a firm commitment to the targets by European regions, towns and the public.
I would like to highlight the participation of the public. Currently, what we are seeing is a great deal of frivolousness among the authorities and the public. Is it not true, ladies and gentlemen, that in the harsh European winter, we see people sitting on street terraces with heating?
Mr Turmes, we should not spare any efforts in order to try to save energy."@en1
