Stresses the increasing potential of PPPs, as one option among others, to foster innovative solutions and mobilise long-term private finance and domestic resources for development objectives, given that massive investments are required in developing countries – in terms of infrastructure, water supply and energy – that the public sector will not be able to provide on its own, and the majority of which would profit from private sector involvement; believes that PPPs can also generate innovation in technologies and business models, and build mechanisms for holding the private sector accountable; points, however, ...[+++]to instances in which the participation of the private sector in PPPs in some developing countries has not delivered the expected results; notes that, in consequence, a contribution of technical assistance is needed to reinforce the legal and institutional frameworks in which PPPs are developed, in particular as regards the capacity to evaluate, plan and supervise the execution of such projects in a proper manner, and provide the option for public partners to claim compensation from private companies in case of contractual non-compliance;

76. Notes that the Commission has identified investment needs of EUR 1 trillion in the area of energy generation capacity and the upgrading of the EU’s energy transmission and distribution infrastructures by 2020, to be financed mainly through energy tariffs; calls for these investments to be made, with a view to completing an interconnected internal energy market ensuring security of supply, improving the integration of renewable energies in the European energy system, while taking into consideration the specific nature of each country’s energy mix, increasing energy efficiency and enabling consumers to benefit from new technologies; ...[+++]emphasises, however, that in raising the necessary finance, the polluter pays principle must prevail, taking due account of the needs of low income consumers suffering from energy poverty; stresses the need for electricity interconnectors between Member States in order to exploit fully the massive investments being made, in particular in renewable energy, in a number of countries;

17. Regrets that the European Council did not give clear political guidelines to the Commission and the Italian Presidency in pursuing the Commission's initiative to increase overall public investment and private sector involvement; emphasises that enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of the European economy requires massive investment in innovation, education and training, rather than building new roads, and that meeting the Kyoto targets needs bold investment in renewable forms of energy, energy efficiency and energy sa ...[+++]ving;
