lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because it is an important contribution to the realisation of the Europe 2020 strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The existing directive on energy taxation, adopted in 2003, was concerned primarily with preventing distortions of competition in the energy sector within the internal market. With this proposal to amend the directive, the European Commission seeks to reconcile the four different areas of climate change: energy efficiency, the internal market and promoting growth and employment. It is important to adapt the structure of energy taxation in order to support the aim of a low-carbon, energy-efficient economy and to avoid problems in the internal market. The Commission intends to tax energy on a dual basis, according to both CO emissions and energy content. By introducing a CO based element into energy taxation, this proposal seeks to bring it into line with the EU’s commitments on combating climate change. It also seeks to observe proportionality with regard to the various minima set at EU level. It is therefore of the utmost importance to strike a balance between concerns in order to set the right course at EU level."@en1
