Recital D a (new)
Recital D a (new)
Da. whereas Europe urgently needs to develop major network investments and to complete the internal energy market, some forward looking initiatives, such as the European transmission system operator and the establishment of a single European gas grid, should be encouraged,
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Reaffirms the threefold objective set for 2020 of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, achieving energy savings of 20% and attaining a 20% share for renewables in primary energy consumption; calls on Member States to consider a reduction of 50 to 80% in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050; calls on the Commission to draw up possible energy scenarios, in consultation with all the stakeholders, illustrating ways in which these objectives may be reached and setting out the underlying technical and economic hypotheses;

Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Believes that an appropriate European energy policy must be founded on a balanced energy mix based on the use of non-carbon energy and the lowest emitting fossil fuels and on new technologies which drastically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from solid fossil fuels;
Amendment 120 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Believes that oil refining capacity represents an important additional factor in ensuring EU energy security; it is therefore important to improve the level of transparency of the demand-supply balance for refining capacity necessary to serve the EU's needs, in particular taking account of concerns regarding the potential available of diesel fuel in the future;
Amendment 126 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 b (new)
Paragraph 10 b (new)
10b. Advocates the development of a promotion and financing strategy for infrastructure such as heating and cooling networks using local resources such as geothermal energy, cogenerated heat, etc.;

Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Asks Member States and the Commission to develop major network investments and to complete the internal energy market through some forward looking initiatives such as the European transmission system operator and the establishment of a single European gas grid;
Amendment 149 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Calls on Member States to cooperate to draw up a European strategic plan with a view to multiannual programming of the investment necessary to meet future electricity generation needs on the basis of medium-term projections of energy requirements; believes that an indicative multiannual plan should also be envisaged in the gas sector to provide an overall view of investment requirements at European level;
Amendment 187 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Advocates an approach geared to conciliation in the dialogue with Russia, which supplies 42% of the EU's gas, as well as 100% of the gas imported by Poland, Finland and the Baltic States and over 30% of crude oil imports to the EU and 15% of distillate product demand in the EU; notes that relations between the EU and Russia are based on interdependence and that, in the continuation of the negotiations, the EU should refrain from demanding ratification of the Energy Charter, while reminding the Russian authorities of their endorsement of the principles of the Charter; hopes, by way of example, that the Nabucco gas pipeline project will be carried out in cooperation with Russia in order to avoid competition between two gas pipelines and to be able ultimately to transmit gas from Russia, Iran or the Caspian Sea;
Amendment 223 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24 a (new)
Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Endorses the measures to promote energy efficiency and renewable energies, such as the financing programmes which fall under the cohesion policy or green taxation, or the contribution by the ‘Covenant of Mayors’ towards the dissemination of best practices;
Amendment 271 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 31
Paragraph 31
31. Recalls that coal remains an element in the EU's supplies and an alternative to oil and gas; stresses, however, that the major disadvantage of coal lies in its very high rate of carbon dioxide emissions and consequently, pending the results of demonstrations of carbon capture and storage systems, any new coal-fired power station should be authorised only if necessary and on condition that it meets high efficiency requirements;
Amendment 278 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 32
Paragraph 32
32. Endorses the Commission's analysis that it is urgent for Member States which have opted for nuclear, or which do so in future, to take the necessary investment decisions and that the EU should continue to provide a regulatory framework for its useimportant to maintain the contribution of nuclear energy in the energy mix, and to that end to promote without delay the establishment of a harmonised regulatory and economic framework facilitating the necessary investment decisions; calls on the Commission to draw up a specific road map for nuclear investments; considers it imperative to launch a debate within society, without prejudgments, on the use of this source of energy;
Amendment 286 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 33
Paragraph 33
33. Considers it essential to guarantee to European citizens that, in the EU, nuclear energy is used safely and transparently, particularly as regards the management of nuclear waste; welcomes the Commission’s adoption of a new proposal for a directive establishing a Community framework for the safety of nuclear installations;

Paragraph 34
Paragraph 34
34. ConsiderStresses that neither in its Revised Illustrative Programme nor in the Strategic Review has the Commission examined the likely development of nuclear technology by 2050, as suggested in the reference document of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform, or the position assigned to the ITER controlled fusion project;
