"I voted in favour of this report, which encourages Member States to take the necessary measures to increase the share of renewables in their energy mix.
Renewables must become the ‘stepping stone’ to reaching the dual objective of increased security of supply and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The energy efficiency objective should not be seen as a precondition for achieving the 20% renewables target by 2020, but as a condition in its own right.
This will create new jobs and encourage research and innovation in the energy sector. I am thinking for example of research into increasing access to environmentally-friendly housebuilding materials.
Renewable energy is one of the best ways of protecting consumers and industry from the dual effects of increased energy imports and rising fuel costs.
Finally, I am pleased about freedom to choose the most appropriate renewable energy sources given that the potential to develop certain renewable energies varies because of the particular geological, hydrological and climatic conditions in each Member State."@en1
