27. Regrets the lack of any ambition to develop a truly common European energy policy in the EU 2020 strategy; stresses that although a functioning internal market is a key goal for Europe and while stressing the need to rapidly implement the 3rd energy package, overemphasising this part of the Europe’s energy policy has come at the detriment of the other two objectives of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘security-of-supply’; recalls that the internal market cannot be dealt with separately from the external dimension, and that Europe needs a truly Common European Energy policy in order to have a real effect on security of energy supply, ...[+++]climate change and affordability of energy;

Our external competitiveness policies will need to encourage energy efficiency, the use of renewable energies including bio fuels, low emission technology and the rational use of energy in Europe and globally, both to reduce the growth in global energy demand and strengthen security of supply.

Mr President, I believe that, together with the directive on the promotion of electricity generated from renewable energy sources, the proposal on energy efficiency in buildings, the political commitment to guarantee the environmental aspects of our energy consumption, and the proposal on biofuels, we are making a real effort to combine the rules for the creation of the internal markets in energy and to improve their operation with the improvement in energy efficiency and the environmental aspects of energy in Europe.
