Translation of "dependence on energy " (English → French) :

35. Points out, with regard to energy, that Europe is currently dependent on fossil fuels as its main source of energy; considers that, while dependency on fossil fuels must be reduced, it is also imperative to achieve energy security for Europe; believes that this means diversifying its sources of fossil fuels, while trying to maintain energy at affordable prices; considers that energy sectors in Member States must be opened up and real competition must be achieved; considers that energy efficiency must be improved through RD and the mainstreaming of 'best practices'; considers that, with high oil and gas prices in the long run, Europe must be able to reduce its exposure in this area; considers it of utmost importance that the Europe ...[+++]an Union should consider moving towards an internal energy market, to distribute its energy more efficiently between Member States, and to counter its dependence on energy from third countries; considers that the European Union's share of energy from renewable sources must be increased in order to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels; considers that RD in this area should be intensified and diverse local solutions should be favoured in order to make best use of available energy from renewable sources;

Energy efficiency improvement measures could realise these energy savings and thus help the Community reduce its dependence on energy imports.

What view does the Council take of the EU's heavy dependence on energy supplies from Russia and the Gulf States and what possibilities does it think there are for reducing this dependence by systematically promoting renewable energy sources and alternative forms of energy?

‘Energy-using product’ or ‘EuP’ means a product which, once placed on the market and/or put into service, is dependent on energy input (electricity, fossil fuels and renewable energy sources) to work as intended, or a product for the generation, transfer and measurement of such energy, including parts dependent on energy input and intended to be incorporated into an EuP covered by this Directive which are placed on the market and/or put into service as individual parts for ...[+++] end-users and of which the environmental performance can be assessed independently.
