Amendment 426 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Believes that the development of renewable energy sources and the promotion of carbon-neutral energy sources with the objective of 20 % by 2020 and at least 27 % by 2030 is essential, taking into consideration energy costs, time-scales, operating and construction costs and their amortisation; stresses the importance of developing smarter energy grids and new energy storage solutions for the integration of renewables;
Amendment 443 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 – point a (new)
Paragraph 20 – point a (new)
(a) Believes that, in order to achieve greater cost-effectiveness in supporting different carbon-saving and renewable energies, high charges and subsidies should not only be enabled on the basis of renewability but the cost-effectiveness over the life-cycle of such a form of energy should be included as a basis for reaching a decision. This would have the advantage of promoting forms of energy that are really low cost and marketable, as well as ensuring that attention is paid to forms of energy which have quantifiable life-cycles, are carbon neutral, can be produced – once the construction costs have been covered – at virtually no cost and do not classify as renewables according to the current taxonomy.
Amendment 652 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35
Paragraph 35
35. Calls for the Projects of Common Interest (PCI) adopted in 2013 to be executed without delay; in this connection, there should be a focus on the elimination of energy islands through interoperability and price zones, rather than eliminating price zones where they already exist. In addition, extending price zones in this way must not lead to the undermining of carbon-neutral and renewable energy production.
Amendment 719 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 40
Paragraph 40
40. Expresses the opinion that Russia can no longermust continue to be considered a reliable partner as it explicitly questions EU law, including at the World Trade Organisation, and uses energy supply for political purposes; in terms of gas supplies, as it has not yet brought the supply to Europe to a halt; what shortages there have been have resulted from negotiations in transit countries; stresses, therefore, the significance of the promise again made by Russia at the most resses, therefore,cent meeting between Alexei Miller and Commissioner Šefčovič that it will remain a reliable gas supplier; underlines that more attention should be concentrated on the development and further expansion of the gas supply infrastructure with Norway, the Southern Gas Corridor and the Mediterranean gas hub; also emphasises the significance of the pipeline projects which have been and are being initiated by Russia.
