(1) The Union i's committedment to a sustainable, competitive, secure and decarbonised energy system19. T is contradicted by its rampant globalisation policy, evidenced in part by its determination to have major unrestricted trade deals. While the Energy Union and the Energy and Climate Policy Framework for 2020 to 203020 establish ambitious commitments for the Union to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 % by 2030 as compared with 1990, to increase the proportion of renewable energy consumed by at least 27 %, to make energy savings of at least 27 %, and to improve the Union’s energy security, competitiveness and sustainability, these plans are in part undermined when the increase in road transport traffic as a result of major trade deals are taken into account. _________________ 19 European Council Conclusions of 24 October 2014. 20 Commission Communication on a policy framework for climate and energy from 2020 to 2030 (COM(2014)0013)
