lpv:translated text	". I am a firm believer in the possibilities of developing biofuels from primary agricultural products; one example of the multifunctional character of our agricultural industry is that we are able to produce food and energy. The energy industry produces 570 000 tonnes per year; it is still in its infancy, in other words and is expected, in the next few years, to undergo substantial growth, in terms of volume, energy efficiency and in terms of improving its environmental impact. I supported the measures which seek to introduce differentiated taxation; we should increasingly consider taxes on oil products as an ‘ecotax’, designed to penalise fossil fuels for their negative external costs, such as their non-sustainability and their contribution to the greenhouse effect. Biofuels, on the other hand, are a clean, renewable and indigenous resource, and have no impact whatsoever on the greenhouse effect. I supported the measures which give Member States specific and increasing objectives on the use of biofuels in the fuel pool, and I regret that Parliament has watered down the restrictive character of these measures. Lastly, I regret that we received no support for the provisions which seek to avoid a situation whereby the measures taken bring about an increase in imports of biofuels and their raw materials."@en1
