SHORT JUSTIFICATION Never before, since the energy crises of the 70s, were energy issues so high on the political and social agenda. Changes that take place in the energy sector are significant and radical and they will map out in the longer-term the economic course of all countries. Without long-term energy planning the Union is in danger to suffer the consequences that derive from the painful childbirth of a new energy season. At the social level, public dialogue is mainly focused on high oil prices (which are not foreseen to decrease to the low levels of previous years). At the pure energy level the debate of experts is carried out in various fields. The main controversy lies in whether the production of argon already has touched upon maximum or if peak-oil will appear in the coming decade. This discussion has however relatively limited importance for a long-lasting planning. That is why the draftswoman considers it essential to create at least a common external energy policy. Europe should fight the energy wastefulness in all directions. In the beginning of the 80's, immediately after the second petroleum shock, Europe began a giant effort of energy saving that resulted at a roughly 10% decrease of oil consumption in OECD countries in 3 years, while maintaining simultaneously the increase of economic product. The restriction of wastefulness and the rational energy use constitute an imperative and universal need, if we want to make the transition in the new energy era as painless as possible while simultaneously protecting the environment. The high oil and gas prices underline the need for an effort to use energy rationally. An effort that in the short-term will create 1.000.000 posts in the EU (energy inspectors, electricians, work of insulation of buildings, work of renovation of residences etc.). At the same time the EU could save up to 20% of its current energy consumption, in buildings, transport and industry. Half of this save emanates from the application from the member states of the existing European legal framework. The remaining half emanates from innovative solutions. This is the reason why we call the European Commission to demonstrate minimum tolerance in the non application from the member states of the regulation on building energy efficiency. This objective of energy saving by 20% should, according to the draftswoman, be binding for the member states. At the same time the full transposition and application of the existing directives on buildings, co-production of electricity and heat, eco-design, energy efficiency, labelling of energy consumption in the electric appliances in the all member states remains imperative. The Commission is furthermore called to work on the labelling of air conditioning appliances in buildings. Taking into account that public buildings also participate in the energy wastefulness, this issue should be faced with continuous annual energy inspections and the resulting data should be publicized so that public control is more feasible. The creation of an independent institution that will have the responsibility of overseeing the energy saving plan, attending and verifying the accomplishment of obligations that arise from the Community objective of a 20% reduction, is deemed necessary. Moreover, the draftswoman considers necessary the annual publication of an assessment of the above mentioned and the obligation to keep the European Commission and the European Parliament informed. In the transport sector, the draftswoman welcomes the efforts made to save fuel with the help of hybrid engines or STOP and START engines; she believes however that these efforts should also be extended to other elements of the car such as the air conditioning. She urges, therefore, the automobile industry to act on the subject after consulting the European Commission in the framework of “voluntary agreements”. The EU however has at its power useful tools for the implementation of these policies in the European level and these tools are the structural funds. The draftswoman considers that for all funding from the Regional Fund concerning construction of buildings or any intervention in the building sector the energy behaviour of the buildings as well as the possibility of using internal energy sources (geothermics - bioclimatic etc) should be taken into consideration. The European Commission is therefore called to proceed in the mainstreaming not only of the general request of rational energy use but also of the promotion of renewable energy sources through the structural funds for all European regions. In this way the Lisbon objectives are supported, Internal Energy Consumption Market is strengthened and at the same time the international competitive position of the EU is promoted through a sector where the EU plays a leading role. PROCEDURE
OPINION Draftsman: SUGGESTIONS The Committee on Transport and Tourism calls on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy , as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution: 1. Notes that transport accounts for almost one third of final energy demand in the European Union and is the second fastest growing demand sector for energy in the European Union; considers therefore that specific measures for more efficient energy use in each of the transport sectors are essential to secure sustainable use of energy in the transport sector; recalls that, unless major changes are instigated, passenger transport activity will continue to increase over all modes but most particularly in road transport and aviation; 2. Underlines the transport sector's heavy dependency on fuels derived from petroleum, principally gasoline, diesel oil and kerosene, which together account for 98 % of final energy demand in the transport sector; notes that these fuels are overwhelmingly imported from third countries, which raises questions about security of supply and sustainability; notes that greater energy efficiency, recognised as fundamental in the Commission's Green Paper, must be achieved first and foremost in the transport sector, where 80 % of consumption is accounted for by road transport, which must receive absolute priority; 3. Takes the view that the percentage of additives to diesel fuel and petrol will have to be increased and if necessary made compulsory if first-generation biofuels are to be brought into use; 4. Considers therefore that transport has a key role to play in the attainment of sustainable, competitive and secure energy supply and use in the European Union, given the short-term possibility of a specific and measurable reduction in consumption and the medium-term possibility of effective and sustainable infrastructural improvement; notes that the integrated development of energy strategy and transport policy are necessary to achieve industrial competitiveness at European level; 5. Welcomes the legislative and other initiatives taken by the Union's institutions which have improved energy intensity (primary energy demand per unit of GDP) in the transport sector; accordingly calls for measures to promote a European platform for energy reduction and alternative consumption for the transport sector in particular, applicable not only to road but also air and sea transport; 6. Recalls that these initiatives include measures for the improvement of the environmental performance of freight transport systems (Marco Polo II); charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures; the encouragement of short sea shipping; measures to facilitate inland waterway transport (Naiades); the CARS 21 initiative to speed up the development of more fuel efficient vehicles; restructuring vehicle taxation regimes to encourage the use of fuel efficient vehicles; steps to facilitate the introduction and use of bio fuels in the transport sector; the development of a "Single Sky" and the SESAR system, which will reduce aviation kerosene consumption, including aviation in the European Emissions Trading Scheme; and the Galileo project, which will optimise traffic management; 7. Insists that further progress needs to be realised through the development of a coherent Trans European Transport network largely in rail, inland waterway and short sea shipping; striking the right balance for the future development of modes of transport and encouraging research and technological innovation to improve fuel efficiency, reduce dependency on petroleum derivatives and lessen wastage by tackling congestion and aircraft 'holding' and by further research into energy efficient vehicles and vehicles powered by alternative fuels; and measures to encourage the use of energy efficient and environmentally friendly public and private transport, especially in urban areas; 8. Considers that greater aviation efficiency and reduced time in the air, the development and use of fuel efficient, hybrid vehicles which exploit the opportunities presented by fuel cell technology and biofuels, for example, and further development of the rail freight sector, together with improved load factors for freight generally, would assist a more limited and efficient consumption of energy; 9. Insists on the necessity of campaigning for education and behavioural change in favour of the more sustainable mobility of the European citizen.
