"Mr President, Commissioner, the planned directive contains measures that include a slew of cost cutting initiatives for boosting energy efficiency. The effort to boost energy efficiency in Europe may lead to positive effects on the European economy, but also on the environment, as long as sensible steps and measures are taken in the area of energy savings which do not interfere in the basic market principles that Western Europe has so long profited from. The Energy Efficiency Directive should bring about these sensible steps.
In my opinion, the submitted text is a balanced compromise. I primarily support the view that states should have some flexibility in the choice of instruments through which they will help to boost energy saving, because conditions often vary between individual Member States.
The measures introduced by this directive should motivate and make possible real savings. The directive should not introduce restrictive and unachievable targets and greater bureaucracy, which would harm businesses and end consumers. This proposal must not lead to reduced primary energy consumption in the EU at any cost, and it should take account of other EU objectives, such as competitiveness."@en1
