39. Notes that, according to the Commission's assessment, setting a higher reduction target would lead to a reduction in oil and gas imports of up to EUR 40 billion by 2020 at an assumed oil price of US$ 88 per barrel in 2020; welcomes the fact that the EU's dependence on energy imports could thus be reduced by up to 56%;

7. Notes that the Agency's accounts for the financial year 2008 show income from interest as amounting to EUR 519 598,10, of which EUR 472 251,18 have already been paid back to the Directorate-General for Energy and Transport, with the remaining EUR 47 346,92 entered in the accounts as an accrued expense; concludes from the annual closure of accounts and the amount of interest payments that the Agency maintains enormously high cash reserves over long periods; welcomes the fact that as at 31 December 2008 the Agency's cash reserves had been reduced to EUR 3 610 677,41; calls on the Commission to examine ways of ensuring that the princi ...[+++]ple of needs-based cash management, as laid down in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002, is implemented to the full and that changes in approach are needed to ensure that the Agency's cash reserves are kept as low as possible on a long-term basis;

2. Considers that delay in finding international agreement is not a justification for postponing further EU policies to achieve reductions that are known to be necessary based on science; calls therefore for the EU to step up its domestic reduction target to 30% and to clarify the conditions for moving to a 40% reduction target; calls for the EU to achieve these targets through energy savings and renewable energy sources, and to reject false solutions such as nuclear energy and so-called ‘clean coal’; calls for an ambitious and binding energy savings target to be agreed as soon as possible;

The tax base is a composite one, with 50% being accounted for by the carbon content of the energy source and 50% by its energy content.

The tax would be based (50/50) on the CO2 content of the energy source in question and on its energy (calorific) value.
