lpv:translated text	". It is with much conviction that I have voted in favour of the compromise achieved in respect of renewable energy sources. My Green colleague and rapporteur, Mr Turmes, has done a sterling job. Thanks to his efforts, and indeed those of the whole of Parliament, a strong legislative framework will be put in place which will ensure that the total share of renewable energy will be no less than 20% by 2020. This is not hype, but a true energy revolution, set to create a huge number of jobs. Some reports have been known to quote more than 2 million jobs. These include jobs for highly-qualified engineers, designers and boffins, but also a majority of jobs for technicians, people who make cogwheels, install solar panels and build wind farms. Further to much negotiation, the original proposals on agrofuels and biofuels were also adapted. We, as Greens, are not entirely happy with this technology, though, and we will prescribe strict conditions on the use of fuels of this kind. In the Turmes report, the sustainability criteria have been clearly tightened up, and there is also a reference to social criteria within the framework of the International Labour Organisation. Agrofuels are only acceptable if you get more energy out of them than you put in, and they should in no way compete with food production."@en1
