(6) Accelerating the refurbishment of existing and deployment of new energy infrastructure is vital to achieve the Union's energy and climate policy objectives, consisting in completing the internal market in energy, guaranteeing security of supply, notably for gas and oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%19, while at the same time ensuring site protection, the competitiveness of European undertakings and ongoing employment protection, increasing the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption to 20% and achieving a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020. At the same time, the Union has to prepare its infrastructure for further decarbonisation of its energy system in the longer term towards 2050. ____________________ 19 30% if the conditions are right

(24) Given the urgency to develop energy infrastructures, the simplification of permit granting procedures must be accompanied by a clear deadline for the decision to be taken by the respective competent authorities regarding the construction of the project. This time limit should stimulfacilitate a more efficient definition and handling of procedures, and should under no circumstancesneither compromise on the high standards for the protection of the environment and public participation nor promote nuclear energy through the more rapid transmission of nuclear power.
