Amendment 170 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that it makes sense to step up cooperation between regions under the leadership of ACER, though without the Member States abandoning responsibility for security of supply;
Amendment 253 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that network expansion in particular is indispensable with a view to completing the internal market in electricity with a growing share of renewables; regrets that there are still large gaps in the interconnections between Member States, leading to network bottlenecks and significantly impairing cross-border energy trading; calls for the electricity interconnection objectives to be differentiated by region and aligned with the ENTSO-E ten-year network plan. To this effect, it is also of significant importance to counteract the uncoordinated loop flows, especially in the CEE region;
Amendment 420 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Supports the EU’s goal of increasing the share of renewables to 3027%; notes, however, that the permanent national subsidising of renewables is outdated, since it needlessly distorts the EU internal energy market, and that renewables too must react to market signals in this new energy system, since otherwise market signals for all electricity producers will be heightened disproportionately;
Amendment 441 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Notes that the Member States must meet specific quantitative objectives for the share of renewables in energy consumption, irrespective of the market situation, and therefore stresses the importance of promoting renewables in a wayharmonised way through policies such as tradable green certificates that focuses on competition and cost efficiency; therefore regards the promotion of investment as more compatible with the market than feed-in priorities and fixed prices;
Amendment 466 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22 a (new)
Paragraph 22 a (new)
22a. Calls on the Commission to launch a study into new and cost-effective market designs with a view to ensuring that consumers receive reasonably priced electricity and to preventing carbon leakage;
Amendment 481 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24
Paragraph 24
24. Calls, with the subsidiarity principle in mind, for coordinated action by Member States, starting at regional level, in connection with the further expansion of renewables, in order to boost the economic efficiency of the energy market; calls on the Commission to work towards a harmonised European framework for the promotion of renewables;
Amendment 509 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that, for a medium- term transitional period, national responsibility for the energy mix cannot be questioned and therefore that both nuclear power, which is largely CO2-neutral, and the use of national energy reserves together with high-efficiency gas-fired power stations and coal-fired electricity generation using the latest technology, can make vital contributions to the integration of renewables;
