Д. като има предвид, че Комисията е изчислила, че за постигането на целите на ЕС за намаляване на парниковите газове и за възобновяемата енергия ще са нужни 70 милиарда евро на година до 2020 г.,
E. whereas the Commission has estimated that it will be costing EU EUR 70 billion per annum by 2020 to achieve the EU's greenhouse gas reduction and renewable energy targets,
Е. като има предвид, че подобряването на енергийната ефективност е мярка за намаляването на емисиите на парникови газове с най-добро съотношение на разходите и ползите,
F. whereas improving energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective means of cutting greenhouse gas emissions,
Ж. като има предвид, че научноизследователската дейност и технологичното развитие са от ключово значение за постигането на целите на европейската енергийна политика,
G. whereas research and technological development are key to achieving the objectives of European energy policy,
З. като има предвид, че по-добро взаимодействие на бъдещите европейските научни изследвания в областта на енергийните технологии със сигурност стимулира устойчивия икономически растеж, допринася за сравнителното предимство на европейската икономика, подобрява заетостта и позволява по този начин осъществяването на целите както на Лисабонската стратегия, така и на борбата срещу изменението на климата,
H. whereas better synergy in future European energy technology research can only stimulate sustainable economic growth, contribute to the comparative advantages of the European economy, improve employment and thus help achieve the objectives of the Lisbon strategy and combat climate change,
И. като има предвид, че в Седмата рамкова програма (РП7) се отпускат само 2,3 милиарда евро през седемгодишния програмен период за научни изследвания в областта на енергетиката,
I. whereas the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) allocates only EUR 2,3 billion over the seven-year programming period to energy research,
Й. като има предвид, че в Европейския съюз инвестициите от страна на частния сектор в научноизследователска дейност в областта на енергийните технологии са много ограничени в сравнение с усилията на нашите конкуренти, и дори на други европейски промишлени отрасли,
J. whereas private sector investment in research on energy technologies is very limited in the European Union in comparison to the efforts being made by our competitors, and even by other European industries,
К. като има предвид, че бюджетите на държавните и частните научни изследвания в областта на енергетиката в Европейския съюз са се понижили значително след 80-те години и че Европа заема незадоволителна позиция, ако се направи сравнение на международно равнище на показатели, свързани с нововъведенията и базирани на равнището на разходите за научноизследователска дейност в областта на технологиите,
K. whereas public and private energy research budgets in the EU have declined substantially since the 1980s, and Europe performs poorly when innovation indicators based on technology research spending levels are compared at international level,
Л. като има предвид, че публичната интервенция в полза на нови, по-малко замърсяващи енергийни технологии, е необходима и оправдана, тъй като първоначално последните са по-скъпи от технологиите, които заместват, и поради това, в начална фаза на навлизане на пазара, може да не донесат нито краткосрочни търговски печалби, нито по-добри цени за потребителите,
L. whereas public intervention in support of new, less-polluting energy technologies is necessary and justified since these are initially more costly than those they replace and, at the initial market penetration stage, may therefore not bring with them either short-term trading profits or better prices for consumers,

· Finally, new technologies, such as Renewable energy and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as well as the efficiency of energy generation and end use efficiency savings (specifically savings in energy consuming industry), will be important for energy security - e.g. by providing the EU with new ways to exploit indigenous energy resources without driving up emissions.
