lpv:translated text	". − Mr President, I am perhaps taking up just one issue that has been raised here today, namely the view that mines should be closed as soon as possible for environmental reasons. I think that energy security, for example in my country, in the Czech Republic and in many other EU countries, is not consistent with this view, and this view is not generally accepted. Quite the contrary, in fact: if only because of new technologies that are being developed, such as ‘clean coal’ and ‘CCS’, we shall probably be opening new mines in the future. Coal will continue to be an important and competitive source of energy in Europe for some time to come. We must also not forget – and here I am addressing those who would like to close all mines – that coal is not only an important raw material for energy, but also a chemical raw material. Firstly, then, the Research Fund for Coal and Steel is necessary. Secondly, this Fund is not met by the 7 Framework Programme, as it deals with an entirely different sphere of action. Thirdly, a rise in qualified costs from 40% to 50% is indicated. Fourthly, failure to include bitumen shales in the Research Fund for Coal and Steel programme – and the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance also put forward a proposal of this nature for these amendments – would have been injurious to Estonia, whose power generation is chiefly based on this fuel."@en1
