Amendments (7)
Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Agrees with the Commission, however, that EU action is based on the assumption that global climate action is taken and should not be developed in isolation but by taking account of international developments, for example carbon leakage and adverse effects on competitiveness;
Amendment 121 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6b. Recognises that the increasing importance of electricity in the future energy mix requires that all means of low- carbon electricity production (conversion efficiency, renewables, CCS and nuclear energy) will need to be harnessed if climate goals are to be achieved without jeopardising security of supply and competitiveness;
Amendment 125 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Acknowledges the conclusions reached in the Energy Roadmap 2050 that there are similarities between the actions that must be taken in the analysed scenarios in order to transform the EU's energy system, regardless of the specific path chosen to achieve a low-carbon 2050 energy system; believes that renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy infrastructure are ‘no regrets’ options, although the way and extent to which they are pursued can have profound cost implications to Member States and to consumers which should be taken into account;
Amendment 134 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Calls for the principle of energy-for- all, therefore, highlights that special attention should be paid to low-income households for which coping with the energy system transformation will be challenging if energy prices will increase as predicted; believes that specific measures should be defined at EU, national and local levels to avoid energy poverty;
Amendment 321 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a. Believes that all types of technologies reducing CO2 emissions will be needed to achieve the ambitious goal of decarbonising the EU's energy sector in particular; it will remain uncertain which technologies will be technically and commercially proven within the required time scale, therefore, flexibility must be preserved in order to allow adaptation to the technological and socio-economic changes that will rise;
Amendment 364 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Agrees with the Commission that nuclear energy, used by the majority of Member States, contributes to secure, reliable and competitive electricity generation, lowers system costs and electricity prices as reflected in the scenario analysis;
Amendment 490 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 32 a (new)
Paragraph 32 a (new)
32a. Underlines the importance of research, both at EU and Member State level, for bringing forward new technology developments and advancements in the field of energy, for maintaining EU technology leadership and preventing dependence of technology coming from third countries, such that the energy transition will contribute to the European agenda for growth and jobs;
