"Ending aid for the closure of uncompetitive coal mines in 2014 – the date proposed by the Commission – would have serious socio-economic consequences in certain regions of the EU where mining continues to be a significant source of employment. This is why Parliament’s position asking for it to be delayed to 2018 is so important.
My vote reflects my conviction that the closure of these mines should be postponed in order to give the regions and Member States concerned – mainly Spain, Germany and Romania – the time they need to carry out the required restructuring in the current period of crisis.
That restructuring must involve, on the one hand, a transition towards sustainable economic activities that create high quality jobs, and on the other, wherever possible, establishing more competitive and sustainable coal mining and less polluting coal use.
In order to do this, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy must support research and innovation in areas such as CO
capture and storage and achieving more environmentally friendly combustion methods."@en1
