lpv:translated text	"I think that the directive we are discussing today allows great flexibility to the Member States, industry and the public sector, and that it also supports Member States’ efforts to increase efficiency of energy consumption at practically all stages of the energy chain, from conversion and distribution to final consumption. The energy efficiency ratio in the industrial sector went down by 58% between 1995 and 2009, whereas the ratio for the EU as a whole fell by 20%. This reflects a significant improvement in energy efficiency in industry, where it is clearly above the EU average. An example of the compromise directive’s flexibility are the provisions concerning the shift to high-efficiency cogeneration technology. All newly built or renovated industrial installations must be equipped with a cogeneration system, as long as the cost-benefit analysis of such projects shows a surplus. In addition, where important reasons exist, Member States can decide to set aside this requirement for industrial installations. Further improvements to efficiency will require enormous investment in the short and medium term, because almost half of today’s electricity generating capacity and cogeneration systems are over 30 years old. The need to save energy has existed for a long time. However, both in industry and in domestic situations, current expenses are always more important than investments in increasing energy efficiency. I hope the directive will change our point of view, and that a heightened awareness will help us understand how to change the present state of affairs."@en1
