Amendment 455 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29
Paragraph 29
29. Is convinced that only an EU-wide system for promoting RES will offer the most cost-effective framework in which their full potential can be realised; sees decisive advantages in a technology- neutral European market for renewables, in which producers will have to cover a pre-determined quota of their energy output from RES, and in which one of the ways of rethe existing Renewable Directive for promoting RES successfully combines national targets with national support schemes, while allowing governments also to use joint support schemes; notes the evidence of experience in certain European countries namely in Sweden and Norway that successfully demonstrate how a common approach ing that quota will be through the trading of certificates on a market established for that purpose; notes the evidence of experience in the Member States that, in order to ensure quotas are met, heavy fines must be imposed for failure to meet th an integrated electricity market allows for mutually beneficial innovations between national systems;
