"The rapid technological development that we have witnessed in recent years has led to a significant increase in global energy consumption. In spite of a growing focus on the exploitation of renewable energy sources, the truth of the matter is that we continue to be very much dependent on so-called ‘fossil fuels’. Ms Herczog’s report deals with ‘Engaging in energy policy cooperation with partners beyond our borders: a strategic approach to secure, sustainable and competitive energy supply’. While our energy partners to the east and the south are important, the European Union must not stop buying from other markets and demanding compliance with EU criteria, especially regarding the exploitation of raw materials and environmental protection. These partners must have as comprehensive an approach as possible to guarantee stable energy flows. I voted for this report, as I am aware of the importance of the role of energy in all of these areas. I therefore hope that the EU will speak with one voice on energy and will support technological development in the area of renewable energy and installing the necessary equipment, thereby contributing to revived economic growth and job creation."@en1
