"The Western world considers access to energy a right, like water. However, there are many countries where energy access is still a mirage, especially India and the African continent. As such, it is crucial to adopt measures that catalyse the investments enabling achievement of the goals set for 2030; that is, universal energy access. This report, drafted by Mr Neuser, concerns the need for cooperation within the European Union on achieving the aforementioned goal, and it could not be more timely, since we are at the start of 2012, designated International Year of Sustainable Energy for All by the UN. I welcome the proposed measures, particularly the encouragement of private investment and the inclusion of universal energy access as a Millennium Development Goal from 2015. It is essential to invest in energy efficiency and in green energy production. I welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted, and I hope that the EU will very soon fund private individuals’ projects for the installation of equipment intended to produce energy from renewable sources."@en1
