lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too wish first of all to thank Mr Glante for producing an excellent report. The proposal for a directive on the promotion of cogeneration is an important part of the EU’s strategy for energy efficiency and energy savings. Cogeneration will also contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gases, as has been said here. The short-term aim must be to develop the present cogeneration plants and, where possible, to encourage the establishment of high-efficiency plants. The longer-term objective must be to create a framework for ensuring that high-efficiency cogeneration has a key role to play in increasing energy efficiency and savings. The amendments relating to micro-generation, renewable energy sources and district cooling are important in terms of technological development. It is possible to store heat in all size categories for a day or a year, as opposed to what is stated in the Commission proposal and in certain committee opinions. Financial support should not be restricted just to CHP technology based on a useful heat demand. Flexibility in the use of CHP plants must be permitted, as dictated by the time of year, the working day and random variables. Waste heat produced at a cogeneration plant has a potentially wider use than is the case at present. It may also be used, for example, for cooling, water purification and air conditioning. This report is very technical, and the Finnish word ‘suuritehoinen’ (‘powerful’) often mistakenly appears in the Finnish language version. The correct translation is ‘korkean hyötysuhteen’ (‘high-efficiency’). The word ‘suuritehoinen’ would lead the reader to understand that the directive only applied to large installations. The important thing is that the will is there to support high-efficiency technology regardless of size."@en1
