poziva Evropski svet, naj na spomladanskem srečanju 2007 sprejme predlagani akcijski načrt Komisije, ki mora vsebovati vsaj naslednje elemente: umestitev potrošnikov, bodisi gospodinjstev ali komercialnih in industrijskih porabnikov, v središče energetske politike; načrt na ravni Sveta in Komisije za uresničitev cilja o 50-odstotnem deležu uporabe obnovljivih virov energije do leta 2040, 30-odstotnega zmanjšanja CO2 v EU do leta 2020 ter 60 do 80-odstotno zmanjšanje do leta 2050; reforma sistema EU za trgovanje z emisijami, ki bo trg usmerila v naložbe v gospodarstvo z nizko vsebnostjo ogljika in ki bo temeljila na fiksnem cilju za emisije ogljika v EU do leta 2020, skupaj s ciljem o proizvodnji 25 % energije iz obnovljivih virov do leta 2020 in zavezujočim ciljem za zmanjševanje avtomobilskih izpušnih plinov; velik premik na področju energetske učinkovitosti, hitrejše izvajanje obstoječih predpisov Skupnosti v državah članicah ali konkretno izboljšavo regulativnega okvirja; bolj jasno ločevanje med proizvodnjo energije in njeno distribucijo prek strožje neodvisne regulativne kontrole, ki upošteva interese celotne Evrope; prizadevanje za vzpostavitev manjkajočih medsebojnih povezav; spodbujanje vlaganj in inovacij; minimalne zavezujoče smernice za zakonodajalce, skupaj s postopkom za njihovo imenovanje; neodvisnost, preglednost in odgovornost, ambiciozno strategijo za raziskave in razvoj tehnologije za čisto energijo; dodelitev najmanj 50 % več sredstev na leto v naslednjih sedmih letih za raziskave v energetskem sektorju; oblikovanje učinkovitega sistema solidarnosti za obvladovanje kriz oskrbe z energijo; strategijo skupne zunanje energetske politike za enoten nastop pri odnosih s tretjimi državami; močno okrepitev prizadevanj za svetovni boj proti podnebnim spremembam, saj EU tega problema ne more reševati sama, ter popolno izvajanje vse obstoječe zakonodaje EU na področju energetike;
Urges the 2007 Spring European Council to endorse the action plan proposed by the Commission, which should at least contain the following elements: consumers, whether they are households or commercial and industrial users, should be placed at the centre of energy policy; a road map at Council and Commission level for reaching a target for renewables of 50% by 2040, a 30% reduction at EU level in the CO2 target for 2020 and a 60-80% reduction for 2050; a reform of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to guide the market into investment in a low carbon economy, which should be driven by a set target for EU carbon emissions by 2020, including a target of 25% of energy from renewable sources by 2020 and a binding target for car emissions, a step change in energy efficiency, faster implementation of existing EC rules in the Member States, or failing that, concrete improvements in the regulatory framework, a clearer separation of energy production from energy distribution through stronger independent regulatory control which considers the interests of Europe as a whole, an effort to address missing interconnections, stimulate investment and innovation, minimum binding guidelines set out for regulators, including a procedure for the appointment of regulators, independence, transparency and accountability, an ambitious R&D strategy on clean energy technologies, an increase of at least 50% in its annual spending on energy research over the next seven years, the development of an effective solidarity mechanism to deal with any energy supply crisis, a common foreign energy policy strategy so that it can increasingly speak with one voice to third countries, a doubling of the efforts to get global action to combat climate change, since the EU cannot tackle the problem alone, and full implementation of all current EU energy legislation;
