"− The existing Energy Taxation Directive, adopted in 2003, was concerned primarily with preventing distortions of competition in the energy sector within the internal market. It establishes common rules on the products subject to taxation, when taxation is to be applied and the permitted exemptions. However, the proposal for a revised directive changes the structure of energy taxation in order to support the aim of a low-carbon, energy-efficient economy and to be able to avoid problems in the internal market. By introducing a CO based element into energy taxation, the proposal seeks to bring it into line with the EU’s commitments on combating climate change. I voted in favour because I consider this report enormously important to achieving the Europe 20-20-20 targets on greenhouse gas reductions."@en1
