"Any construction is as strong as the foundations it is built on. That is why any efforts on developing an Energy Union need to start by modernising and upgrading our energy networks. Second, a successful Energy Union is one that benefits our citizens. This means we need to commit to ensuring employment in the energy sector, increasing transparency on energy bills and tackling fuel poverty. It is unacceptable that in 2015 between 50 and 125 million EU citizens suffer from energy poverty, meaning they are unable to access a basic level of energy services in their homes. Putting the interests of people first also means that we need to prioritise enhancing renewable energy, energy efficiency and a decarbonised economy. Despite the fact that some politicians on the right, including in the UK, still chose to ignore the scientific consensus that exists among 97% of the world’s leading climate scientists, climate change is not open to discussion. In my country, 70% of people want us to do more to tackle global warming. I urge the Commission to be guided by their voices and make the Energy Union a key tool to achieve step-change in the run-up to the Paris summit."@en1
