"I voted in favour of the own-initiative report, which provides a comprehensive picture of the problems and challenges faced by people, especially in developing countries, in terms of energy access. The report rightly points out that access to modern energy services is the
to poverty reduction, to sustainable human development, and to meeting the UN Millennium Development Goals. Interestingly, provision has been made for important global investments of close on USD 26 trillion to be made in the energy sector over the next two decades, while just 3% of that sum would suffice to achieve universal energy access for mankind by 2030. Nonetheless, many developing countries have failed to improve energy access for the poor, mainly because this particular investment is not a profitable business activity if there are subsidies. In the meantime, as financial assistance from the EU, the third biggest donor in the world, relating to energy access for the poor has been modest, the report proposes certain targeted measures for more effective EU assistance to citizens in the developing world with no energy access."@en1
