lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I voted in favour of this report because we must continue to make sure that energy efficiency is at the very centre of many of our EU policies. That said, we are facing a severe challenge to meeting the objective of reducing the overall energy consumption by 20% by 2020, where policies fostering energy efficiency could and should play a stronger role. Being energy-efficient is very important in terms of getting it right from the very start of new projects. It is far more cost-effective than simply trying to expensively refit many years later. Energy efficiency improvements are decisive for European competitiveness and represent a win-win option in the fight against climate change. Investing in energy efficiency measures can bring about immediate and tangible benefits for both households and business in industry, such as reduction of costs, creation of employment opportunities and growth, as well as an encouragement in the transition towards a low-carbon economy."@en1
