Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas the EU is becoming the major importer of fossil fuels, which on the one hand shows the EU increasing import dependency and vulnerability to external suppliers and transit countries, but on the other hand, gives the EU a considerable power as a major purchaser on global energy markets;
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas, hostile takeover moves by non- transparent foreign entities in the EU energy market represent a threat which requires the strict application of EU competition rules in order to ensure a properly functioning internal market with diversified energy supply and prevent future crude oil and gas- supply disruption and crises;
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
Recital F
F. whereas, Member States are becoming more and more interconnected hence efforts to ensure security of supply exclusively at national level have proved to be insufficient and do not guarantee the long-term interests of all EU Member States;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas, maintaining the current heterogeneous supply patterdifference in supply diversification and import dependency among the Member States (Western Member States: importing a lot but depending little on Russia, Eastern Member States: importing relatively little but depending a lot on Russia) would be dangerousinefficient, only a fully integrated European energy market whose functioning is based on interconnection, flexibility and solidarity can sufficiently address the challenges of security of energy supply;
Amendment 47 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Is of the opinion that a fully functioning, interconnected and integrated European internal energy market can significantly enhance supply security even in the short term and it is an essential element for a successful European external energy policy and vice versa, thus the EU external energy policy and the bilateral agreements of the Member States must be in full compliance with EU legislation;
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Points out that the EU's increasing dependency on imported fossil fuels may have significant effects on the independence of its decision-making in other policy areas, only interconnection, interdependencea robust internal infrastructure ensuring interconnection, flexibility and solidarity among Member States can counterbalance this unfavourable phenomenon;
Amendment 99 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that actions for the diversification of suppliers, routes and sources of energy supply to the EU should be accelerated, especially those aimed at creating new transporit corridors (Eastern Corridor, Southern Corridor and the Mediterranean Basin), and by creating real competition of gas supply sources by increasing the EU's share of LNG and by reaching new, remote suppliers (Australia, Canada, United States, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, etc.), improving the interconnection of energy grids and completing the Euro- Mediterranean electricity and gas infrastructure rings, while also modernising and upgrading the existing fleet of electricity and gas power plants as well as infrastructure (grids and pipelineelectricity grids, oil and gas transmission networks);
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Is of the opinion that the increasing energy demand of the world and the high concentration of fossil fuel reserves in largely unstable and undemocratic countries makes the EU vulnerable and deeply undermines the development of a credible, effective and consistent common European energy policy;
Amendment 149 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Takes the view that global climate change challenges cannot be mitigated without the involvement of big emitters and encourages the Commission to set up a common strategy in order to achieve a global solution with those countries. Recognises that the accrued expertise within the EU, based on our experience with the design and implementation of the ETS, could be of benefit to third countries, and urges the Commission to provide assistance and encouragement to third countries in the setting up and design of their own ETS, with a view to linking such systems to the EU's;
Amendment 152 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Emphasises the need to improve the cooperation in Research & Development & Innovation with third countries in order to tackle global challenges. Considers that the EU should work closely with third country major exporters of biofuels in order to ensure that these alternative, clean energy options, which can contribute to diversification of supply, can be truly sustainable, and that indirect land use change with negative consequences can be avoided;
