lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioners, Union support is needed in energy policy for the Trans-European Energy Network, the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme, sustainable energy systems and also nuclear safety projects. The Union has set ambitious targets to promote renewable energy sources and combined heat and power production. With regard to reaching these targets it is unfortunate that cuts in the area of research into energy have been proposed in the budget. If we support the diverse use of local renewable energy resources we will improve security of energy supply and reduce dependence on imports. The basis of transport policy must be the development of a versatile transport network, decongestion, improved safety and the promotion of sustainable transport. The development of trans-European transport networks has not progressed in the way that was hoped for, owing to inadequate funding. Only three of the 14 Essen projects have been finalised, and in the summer Mr Van Miert’s group listed a number of new TEN-T projects. The Union, for its part, must set aside the necessary funds for both the old and the new projects and take account of the needs of an enlarging Union. For the internal market to function there have to be flexible transport connections between the different regions of the Union. Transport connections in the peripheral regions are a vital necessity. In the summer the Commission issued a communication on the development of transport in the Mediterranean region. I think a similar communication should also be drafted with regard to transport in the north."@en1
