"Denmark is taking up the torch in difficult times. Notwithstanding the extreme economic situation, I hope that by the end of the six-month term of the Presidency we will see a stronger Europe. The Danish Presidency deserves special praise for keeping a clear head during the attacks levelled at Hungary. In doing so it also demonstrated that it supports a fair debate based on facts. Indeed, the Presidency recognised that it is the European idea which suffers the most from this hysterical series of attacks against Hungary. With their campaign of baseless accusations all that the left-wing political forces achieve is a Europe-wide strengthening of radical parties. I would also like to comment on the Presidency’s energy programme. I noted with satisfaction that besides short-term crisis management measures the development of a green economy and the implementation of a single energy market continue to be among the most important objectives. I hope that based on Denmark’s experience and expertise we will see significant progress in both areas over the course of the Presidency. One of the most significant reports of these six months will concern the Energy Efficiency Directive. An early conclusion of this matter is in the interest of us all. However, true success will only be achieved if the Directive sets out solutions that work in real life as well. High-sounding objectives have thus far often turned out to be failures. This time we must therefore take concrete steps towards the achievement of our 20% energy efficiency target."@en1
