Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion
Section 1 – paragraph 2
Section 1 – paragraph 2
2.

Draft opinion
Section 1 – paragraph 4
Section 1 – paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Commission to propose a clear 2030 goal by setting a singlecoherent target for CO2 reduction, taking into account the development of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency; reiterates the need to meet the milestones for emission reduction stated in the low-carbon roadmap and to put forward all needed measures promptly;
Amendment 172 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Emphasises the urgent need for new, smart and flexible infrastructure – including smart grids and smart meters – and fully integrated network planning in order, inter alia, to integrate local and more remote sources of renewable energy across the EU, as has been proven necessary; stresses, moreover, the urgent need for the establishment of mechanisms to allow for EU financing of infrastructure projects of common interest subject to straightforward, transparent criteria and avoiding any distortion of competition;
Amendment 209 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Stresses that a more European approach to renewable policy is key in the medium to long term; encourages Member States to work together and to make greater use of the cooperation arrangements provided for in the Renewable Energy Directive in order to optimise the cost efficiency of renewables expansion and to ensure that investments are made where they will be most productive and efficient, taking into account the specific characteristics of Member States; highlights, in this context, the Commission’s important role as a facilitator and welcomes its declared intention to draw up guidelines on trade in renewables; points out that renewables will, in the long term, move to the centre of the energy mix in Europe, as they progress from technology development to mass production and deployment, from small- scale to larger-scale – integrating local and more remote sources – and from subsidised to competitive; emphasises that the changing nature of renewables requires changes in policy to be made with a view to achieving greaterfuture framework conditions must be such as to support the system and market integration of renewables; highlights the need for support schemes to be phased out as technologies and supply chains mature and market failures are resolved;
Amendment 328 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Agrees with the Commission that natural gas will be critical for the transformation of the energy system, since it represents a quick and cost-efficient way of reducing reliance on other more polluting fossil fuels, thereby; points out that the low carbon content of natural gas means that its use to generate electricity and heat can contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Believes that unconventional gas has a significant role to play in the future EU energy mix, and calls on the Commission and the Member States to take the developments surrounding unconventional gas into account when formulating future energy outlook scenarios;
