I voted in favour of this document because I think this proposal makes an important contribution to the achievement of the Europe 2020 Strategy in terms of reducing greenhouse emissions.
I agree with the Commission’s approach in terms of methodology: seeking to tax energy on a dual basis, according to both CO
emissions and energy content. Indeed, energy taxes will consist of one part linked to CO
emissions and another part based on energy content. The structure of energy taxation will hence aspire to support the aim of a low-carbon, energy-efficient economy.
By introducing a CO
based element into energy taxation, the proposal seeks to bring it into line with the European Union’s commitments on combating climate change."@en1
