"A Uachtaráin, tá áthas orm cúpla focal a rá ar an ábhar tábhachtach seo.
I must say that since our good Commissioner Arias Cañete came into office he has been at pains to point out the need to create an Energy Union by first of all decreasing our dependency on imported fossil fuels and increasing our resources within the European Union – and of course one area is that of biofuels.
Particularly in transport we have to say that emission reductions are not quick or good enough and with a growing economy we are going to see far more lorries and trucks and cars on the roads; therefore this has to be addressed. I think, as my colleagues in the EPP Group have pointed out, this is a good compromise because we do not throw the baby out with the bathwater by discriminating against first-generation biofuels, but we certainly send a signal that advanced biofuels are the way to go, and I would agree totally with that.
Also we will reduce ILUC (indirect land use change) and particularly give legal certainty and confidence to investors that this is what they need to do if they want to be at the races in the years to come.
Particularly, I would like to say, I have met many people recently, investors and so forth, who see that we have had a wasted opportunity in not utilising waste in the past, but this now will change into the future. That will be good for the environment, CO2 emissions and for the Energy Union."@en1
