"President, I spoke on the Morgan report during the debate but I did not have the opportunity to speak on amendment 159. This amendment would prohibit Member States from authorising the construction of new power stations that emit more than 350g of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour produced. I would like to clarify the position on behalf of the EPLP who have all received a number of letters on this amendment.
Whilst we appreciate that climate change is real and present and we have an obligation to address this, we have voted against amendment 159 because it would knock out the development of all new gas-, oil- and coal-fired power stations. This would be detrimental to Europe's security of supply and to keeping the lights on in Europe."@en1
