"Mr President, in order to address the budgetary crisis in Greece, measures are being taken that are provoking reaction from society whereas, on the contrary, a more balanced policy – from a social perspective – could be promoted. I would like to quote an example which is completely missing from the new Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece. I refer to the country’s dependence on imported oil fossil fuels. Greece, like other countries presently in deep recession, is totally dependent on oil imports; however, these put a heavy burden on their economy and significantly increase their balance of trade deficit. The annual cost of imported oil used solely to run power plants on the non-interconnected islands exceeds EUR 300 million. The programme should therefore place greater emphasis on energy efficiency and on the efficient use of natural resources, because this could improve the country’s finances and create jobs, thereby reviving the economy. I therefore think that one of the changes needed to the programme should be such a policy."@en1
