Ia. whereas the differences in astronomical time between the East and the West of the EU mean that the energy network connecting the East and the West should take current flows resulting from peak demand in the Member States into account in order to effectively satisfy peak demand by transferring power load from East to West;
Amendment 333 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Is of the opinion that support schemes, if better used, could be an appropriate tool to incentivise the development of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy efficiency; sees an important role for the Commission in providing guidance in this regard, with particular reference to the network for transferring power generated on wind farms in the northern part of the EU to its southern part;;
Amendment 363 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that some RES should now be considered mature energy sources and their subsidies should therefore be phased out on time order to be able to reallocate these to research and development (R&D) programmes and RES that are not yet cost- effective, especially complementary geothermal sources installed in buildings, which are at present undervalued; asks the Commission to study the impact of RES priority dispatch on general energy costs;
Amendment 378 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Calls the Commission’s attention to the fact that a single paradigm for distributed energy based on renewable energy is, at present and in the near future, unlikely to establish itself throughout the EU, given that the distribution of potential sources of such energy is highly unequal; feels, however, that it may play a major role in a regional context, given the efficiency of distributing and consuming such energy locally;
Amendment 414 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses that increased energy efficiency and energy savingsfficiency in the chain of energy conversion processes, including primary energy from fossil sources, and reductions in energy consumption will play an essential role in the decarbonisation of thelow-emission energy sector;
Amendment 464 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that as one of the cornerstones of the EU’s climate and energy package, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) should be able to bestter fulfil its main function, the reduction of GHG emissions, in such a way as to take account of all elements of the market, including agriculture and active forest management, and respond efficiently to economic downturns and upturns; recalls that the main objective of thea fair EU ETS is to reduce some GHG emissions, mainly of CO2, and not solely to provide investors with sufficient incentives to invest in low- carbon technologies, as these; it should be seen merely as a secondary objective and not as a basis for evaluating if the scheme works as intendedas a method of gradual, evolutionary development towards an efficient low-emission economy and not as an economic tool for global deforestation and reducing food production potential;
Amendment 511 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Sees an important role for cogeneration in increasing energy efficiency in the futureat present and in the future in terms of the consumption of primary energy sources;
Amendment 599 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16 a. Calls on electrical energy producers to reduce their excessive consumption of electricity for their own needs within power plants, i.e. during the process of generating energy for external recipients;
Amendment 854 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 33
Paragraph 33
33. Welcomes the Commission’s remarks that the EU climate and energy targets impact differently on each Member State and their citizens, and that this justifies working on a more equitable effort sharing basis, taking into account a country’s GDP, achievements in reducing emissions since 1990, emissions per capita, economic potential and potential for renewable and other indigenous energy sources and energy efficiency;
Amendment 861 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 33 a (new)
Paragraph 33 a (new)
33a. Takes the view that a map of renewable energy potential should be developed or updated in a comprehensive manner for the entire EU, as this would make it possible for the Member States to transform their current energy model in line with the 3x20 political objective without making methodological errors;
Amendment 874 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 34 a (new)
Paragraph 34 a (new)
34a. Takes the view that the gross energy efficiency calculated by Eurostat for individual Member States must not only take the energy savings achieved into account, since the economic recession may paradoxically give false results for this indicator; the energy efficiency indicator for an individual Member State should take the change in GDP in that country over the reference period into account;
Amendment 912 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 38 a (new)
Paragraph 38 a (new)
38a. Underlines that in the framework of the negotiations on the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), talks in the field of energy play and important and integral role;
