"Another major issue in this plenary session concerned the taxation of energy products and electricity. With this revision, the Commission is aiming to adapt the taxation framework for energy products to EU objectives in terms of energy efficiency and combating climate change. As you know, I am a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, responsible for this text. In this capacity, I undertake on a daily basis to strike the best possible balance between achieving the European Union’s objectives in terms of climate change on the one hand, and increasing the competitiveness of our companies on the other. I personally voted against an increase in taxation on diesel and asked for a special scheme to protect those who use diesel in their daily work: farmers, hauliers, taxi drivers, etc."@en1
