Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Calls on the EU and its Member States to secure a transitional phase in the energy mix, influenced by politicians and led by entrepreneurs, a period in which the use of renewableall low CO2 energy sources gradually supplements and subsequently replaces the use of fossil fuels, by means of active support from the public authorities in the Member States and at EU level;

Paragraph 23
Paragraph 23
23. Calls on politicians and the business community to invest in infrastructure, networks and grids for the generation of solar power for hydrogen production, and to offer third countries, by way of energy partnerships, programmes for the creation of the necessary institutions, infrastructures and training programmes for locally based experts and network access for their own needs;

Amendment 91 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Calls on the Commission to submit a comprehensive analysis of all emissions throughout the entire life-cycle of individual sources of bioenergy in order to determine what role biomass can play as an energy source in future; the advantages and disadvantages of the opportunities that breeding innovations and the use of biotechnology present for improving the calorific value of biomass should be investigated without prejudging the outcome;
Amendment 94 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Considers that any future low-carbon energy policy must also investigate the possibltake into account the contribution of nuclear power to the energy mix of the future, focusing on not only the possible reduction in carbon dioxide emissions but also on the investment required, the security of uranium supply, the operation of the plants, technological and international safety issues and also the unresolved question ofcomparing nuclear energy performance to that of other energy options delivering the same kind of service, i.e. centralised generation of baseload electricity on European markets; points out that, as stated by the European Nuclear Energy Forum established by the European Council, nuclear power is CO2-free and is competitive and predictable in terms of its generation costs, low environmental impact and excellent safety record; considers that the nuclear energy sector offers important domestic added value due to the fact that the major part of the supply chain is based in EU countries; points out that the diresposal of waste, in comparison to renewable energy sourcesnsible use of nuclear energy entails an obligation to comply with existing institutional and technical constraints so as to ensure non- proliferation and to set up the necessary long-term infrastructure for the containment of radioactive waste;
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27 a (new)
Paragraph 27 a (new)
27a. Calls on the EU and its Member States to ensure that a level playing field for nuclear energy in Europe is a key priority in the context of a competitive European energy market; points out that the adoption of an even more advanced legal framework for nuclear energy, meeting the highest standards of safety and security, should ensure the responsible increased use of that energy source;
Amendment 128 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 36
Paragraph 36
36. Calls for clear European coordination for the expansion of electricity cogeneration and its integration into industrial plants, to guarantee local or regional starting points for climate protection measures, at the same time increasing energy consumption efficiency;

Amendment 427 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital U
Recital U
U. whereas in the medium to long term there can be no question of covering the increasing need for energy solely with fossil fuels, and whereas investment decisions over the next few years will determine the structure of the energy system and the composition and carbon content of the energy mix for the coming decades, and whereas CO2- free energy resources should not be hampered through unnecessary administrative burdens,

X. whereas the use of nuclear energy – irrespective of the availability of uranium – still raises the unresolved issue of the safe final storage of nuclear waste and the spread of the technology to undemocratic stadifferent authoritative reports state that all low CO2 sources will need to contribute to climate change mitigation: – Parliament's resolution of 24 October 2007 on conventional energy sources and energy technology1, which states that "short and medium term decisions on the use of nuclear power will also directly affect the climatic goals that the EU might realistically set”; – the fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report in 2007, which underlines that "nuclear is one of the key mitigation technologies currently commercially available", ____________________________ 1 Texts adoptesd, P6_TA(2007)0468.
