"Energy is a vital component in any economy, exerting a major impact on every sector. The specific policies promoted in this area must nurture a climate that is conducive to promoting and utilising all the available energy sources so as to mitigate the adverse impact which is evident in this market. The proposal for a revised directive changes the structure of energy taxation in order to support the aim of a low-carbon, energy-efficient economy and to avoid problems in the internal market. By introducing a CO
based element into energy taxation, the proposal seeks to bring this into line with the EU’s commitments on combating climate change. The measures taken by the European Union on taxing energy products and electricity are converging with the aim of providing a fiscal framework as conducive as possible to promoting with maximum efficiency the best and most extensive use of energy products, while also reducing the wasteful and unwarranted consumption of these products."@en1
