"A Uachtaráin, ba mhaith liom cúpla focal a rá ar an ábhar tábhachtach seo agus díriú ar chúpla pointe ach go háirithe.
Firstly, I welcome the proposals from the Commission to date on Energy Union. This is absolutely vital for Europe, particularly the point that we need to utilise our resources within Europe as far as possible. In relation to renewables, these are obviously something that most people would desire, but we need also to create a climate where the fear that has taken place amongst many people in the public can be allayed so that they can see renewables as something environmentally very good – good for our resources and particularly good for them.
Secondly, I also welcome the proposals to diversify supply where we have to import, and particularly the recent proposals on LNG. We have seen the effects in Lithuania, and I am glad that the Commission mentioned a project in my own constituency – Shannon LNG, which has had difficulties up to now, but being part of the European strategy hopefully means it can now get off the ground – because, first of all, LNG diversifies supply and, secondly, it is the ideal mix with renewables. This is particularly true for Shannon, because it is so close to America, and with that market probably coming on stream, this will be vital in the future.
Finally, I would just like to say that I will be representing Parliament in Paris at the COP 21. We need a binding agreement, and an agreement where all the big emitters play their part, because we do not want a situation where we have a result that leads to carbon leakage from Europe."@en1
