"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are and were agreed that we need to use energy sparingly and that this is a huge task ahead of us. That was an advantage, as Mr Vidal-Quadras pointed out. After a lot of work and a lot of efforts on the part of many Members, in the end, we did achieve something.
Personally, I would have liked to see a different result; namely, that we establish a binding target and then give the Member States the freedom to decide themselves how they achieve this goal. That would have meant fewer rules, fewer regulations, fewer reasons for people to get up in arms about European policy and perhaps, at the end of the day, we would even have achieved a better result if we had concentrated on incentives rather than rules. That did not succeed, however, because in the end, we had to reach a compromise and because there was much opposition and many difficulties. Sometimes, Claude, I also thought that perhaps a slightly more flexible approach, less of the all-or-nothing attitude, might have achieved such a result. The result is an acceptable one, but I would have liked to see something better."@en1
