"Mr President, if properly implemented, the Energy Union strategy will benefit all EU Member States and citizens, who crucially need to be placed at centre stage, especially the energy-poor. I welcome the first stage of the Energy Union report published by the Commission last week, as I am particularly worried by the current situation in the UK. The state of the Energy Union highlights that the UK is failing to hit a 2013 interim target for renewable energy and is in serious danger of failing to meet the binding 2020 target. This is really unacceptable.
The report also rightly claims that the UK needs to assess whether their policies and tools are sufficient and effective in meeting their renewable energy objectives. I am sure I am not alone in thinking that currently they are not. The UK Government policy on renewable energy is regressive, and there is a real danger that the UK will end up buying renewable energy from other countries, rather than growing the green jobs that the UK and our young people so desperately need. The UK Government urgently needs to modify its strategy and develop policy measures to promote energy efficiency – the first fuel – and renewables. This is precisely what the Energy Union is about: building a new, clean and secure energy system which is affordable to all EU citizens."@en1
