lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the proposal presented by the European Commission was evidently written under the dictates of climate policy and without consideration of the social consequences – particularly the consequences in the field of energy – in countries such as Germany, Spain and Poland. We must remember that the world coal market is changing before our eyes. Demand for coal, and the price of coal, are rising. Therefore, mines which today are unprofitable, will, perhaps, be profitable in the future. The departure from coal also presents very serious problems for energy security in such countries as Poland, which generate as much as 95% of their electricity from coal. The departure from coal in such situations can involve only one alternative – a still greater dependence on gas, which is imported from only one direction. Therefore, before we decide on political pressure in favour of abandoning coal in such cases, we should ensure diversification and also security of gas supply, because this is, today, the only real alternative for the energy sector in countries which use coal for this purpose. These are the reasons why we will support the compromises presented by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, where we have proposed that the regulation give the possibility to national budgets – which are not EU budgets, after all – to maintain mines in countries in which this is necessary, and also the compromise which suggests that the regulation could be in force until 2030. I think the initial proposals of the European Commission were significantly closer to precisely this position. Only at the final stage did the European Commission decide to propose the unrealistic deadline of 2014."@en1
