În această dimineață am concluzionat negocierile între instituții pe  Acționând împreună și urmărind planul REPowerEU, vom reuși să scăpăm de dependența energetică față de Rusia, asigurându-ne, în același timp, că vom avea grijă ca prețurile la energie, care deja pun o presiune economică pe populație și pe întreprinderile europene, nu vor crește încă și mai mult.  Ca reprezentant al PPE, vreau să subliniez că instrumentele și politicile din REPowerEU reprezintă, în același timp, și oportunități mari de dezvoltare economică prin investiții masive în energii regenerabile, hidrogen, eficiență energetică.  Banii pentru REPowerEU vor proveni în mare parte din Facilitatea de redresare și reziliență a Uniunii Europene; 20 de miliarde de euro în granturi din vânzarea certificatelor de emisii de CO2 și, de asemenea, din dreptul statelor membre de a transfera din fondurile politicii de coeziune și politicii agricole.  Este un plan ambițios, dar realizabil, care ne va asigura independența energetică față de Rusia, va contribui major și la atingerea țintelor noastre climatice, vom avea un sistem energetic mai curat, mai eficient, independent față de jocurile geopolitice și cu prețuri mai stabile și mai decente pentru cetățeni și pentru economia europeană.

Първо, ние трябва да гарантираме достъпни цени. Конкурентни цени се постигат само, ако работим с всички възможни партньори, а не чрез еднолична зависимост от един доставчик. Нека да развиваме и наличните собствени ресурси. Само така ще гарантираме сигурност и независимост. Трябва ни диверсификация, а не просто замяна на една зависимост с друга. Второ, имаме нужда от инфраструктура. В годините назад сме изпуснали възможността да изградим устойчива газопреносна система. Интерконекторът между България и Гърция все още не е завършен и ние трябва бързо да поправим тази грешка. Трето, европейската солидарност отново ще е ключова за преодоляването и на тази криза. Страните със запазени количества по тръбопроводите ще трябва да покажат солидарност и да помагат на държави като България, чиито основни доставки в момента са прекъснати.  И не на последно място, балансираният енергиен микс, който искаме да развиваме оттук нататък, трябва да бъде зелен и устойчив. А решенията пред нас за жалост са ограничени. Възобновяеми източници на енергия и стабилни базови енергийни мощности в лицето на ядрената енергетика.

Прекратяването на доставките поставя поредица от въпроси, на които България и Полша, но също така и целият Европейски съюз трябва да намерят отговор през близките месеци. Как и до каква степен ще се задейства европейската солидарност? Има ли потенциал Европейският съюз да даде бърз, ефективен и дългосрочен отговор на действията на руската страна? Да, категорично да. Ние вече имаме отговора: „Renew Power EU“ - амбициозен и същевременно реалистичен план. От нас, в Европейския парламент, зависи и доколко бързо ще се задейства и пакетът „Fit for 55“, за да можем да дадем инструменти на страните членки и на Европейската комисия.  Но има въпроси, които засягат и България, и Полша. Имат ли готовност да противодействат и да задвижат комплекс от мерки, които да компенсират спирането на доставките, ускоряването на алтернативни доставки, запълване на хранилищата с газ, развитие на национален енергиен микс с акцент върху възобновяемата енергия и водорода, спешни инвестиции в енергийната ефективност, разглеждане на възможностите за добив на газ в национални граници? България и Полша трябва да развият тези мерки с подкрепата на Европейската комисия. Спирането на доставките на газ за нашите страни е шок за домакинствата и бизнеса, но пълното прекъсване на зависимостта от енергийните доставки от Русия е и възможност.

Energy efficiency and renewables are both a short- and long—term solution to increase our energy independence and it’s what our climate commitments require. We should invest now in sustainable solutions straight away to make sure that we have energy sovereignty for Europe, and it’s also good for our economies.  Especially, we welcome the legislative amendments increasing the energy efficiency target, the solar roof obligation in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the target increase acting on permitting in the Renewable Energy Directive. I think these are bold steps, even though we Greens would have liked to see even higher targets. We appreciate the move to higher targets from the Commission as it is a level which was previously seen as impossible. But we see that impossible things are made possible by bold change.  On permitting, we welcome the proposal to speed up project approval, including through the identification of go—to areas. However, here we would also like to state that we need to be careful that existing legislation to protect biodiversity is not undermined or ignored. And we will be looking into this closely. We also appreciate the switch to timelines for rooftop solar projects and the increase in obligations. On the negatives, the sale of ETS allowances from the Mortgage Stability Reserve is the biggest mistake, from our point of view, in this proposal, as it increases emissions in the ETS. Also, while we acknowledge some specific gas infrastructures may be needed, especially in eastern Europe, we have concerns on the building timeframes of these new and sometimes competing pipeline projects, which likely lead to over capacities, lock-in or stranded assets and potentially being completed late. These infrastructures should only be built with private money if they have economic viability. Finding new EU money is always difficult, but we cannot do the energy transition only with EU money. We need Member States and companies to also step up and ensure that they contribute to this transition away from fossil fuels to an energy efficient and renewable EU. But we are happy that the Commission has done its part.

L'Europa si prende il rischio delle emissioni zero, non tenendo conto degli indicatori economici e delle drammatiche stime sulla crescita. Questo è un piano che parte dal presupposto sbagliato, vale a dire che la crisi attuale coincida soltanto con il conflitto in Ucraina, ignorando anni di politiche sbagliate su energia e clima. E c'è una gravissima mancanza: si punta tutto sulle rinnovabili, ma non su una filiera europea in grado di sviluppare le tecnologie essenziali per la transizione. Via dalla dipendenza energetica da Mosca per aumentare quella tecnologica da Pechino. Geniale. L'estrazione, la trasformazione e il trasporto di minerali e metalli impiegati intensivamente nei pannelli solari delle turbine eoliche dipendono da un adeguato approvvigionamento di diesel e da altri prodotti fossili realizzato, guarda un po', da chi l'energia la produce sfruttando ancora la capacità a carbone. Scrivere che il risparmio energetico è il modo più rapido ed economico per far scendere le bollette mi sembra un tantino banale, direi alle soglie dell'offensivo; non serviva che fosse la Commissione a farci questa rivelazione. REPowerEU è soltanto l'ultimo tassello di una narrativa ideologizzata; Timmermans detta legge, con una Commissione totalmente incapace di riportarlo alla realtà.

W związku z tym potrzebujemy przede wszystkim skuteczności i właśnie solidarności. Solidarność jest obecnie kluczowym słowem i kluczowym działaniem. Nie może być tak, że niektórzy przywódcy państw europejskich zachowują się tak, jakby bardziej zależało im na wspieraniu Putina niż Ukrainy i wypełnianiu tych zobowiązań, które tutaj w Unii Europejskiej podejmujemy. Nie może być tak, że podejmowane są kolejne kroki, kolejne projekty sankcji i są one niedotrzymywane. Więc przede wszystkim tej solidarności potrzebujemy. I to jest również praca nas wszystkich, abyśmy konsekwentnie i szybko – bo czas jest tutaj niezwykle istotny – wdrażali te projekty i te pomysły, które są przygotowywane.

Je pourrais croire à un exploit, mais je sais que, si la Commission a accepté de déroger à ce sacro-saint marché de l’énergie, c’est notamment parce que l’Espagne et le Portugal avaient déjà montré la voie sans attendre le feu vert de l’Union européenne. Comme quoi, la désobéissance, ça peut finalement ramener la Commission européenne à la raison. Mais je vous propose de ne pas nous arrêter en si bon chemin. La guerre en Ukraine ne fait pas exploser que les prix de l’énergie. C’est aussi l’essence, le blé et de nombreux produits alimentaires de base qui augmentent chaque jour. Alors, maintenant que la Commission européenne a découvert l’utilité de la régulation des prix, je vous propose une chose: il est temps de faire de même pour tous les produits de première nécessité.

Mr President, colleagues, the past weeks have demonstrated that Russia is not only an expansionist aggressor, but also an unreliable partner when it comes to energy supplies. It is a tragedy that it took a war of this scale for us to realise the dangers of extreme energy dependence on Russia and it is now under these circumstances that we have to find a solution. There is a solution, however. Finding alternative sources and suppliers of fossil fuels is only a short-term solution. If the EU wants to create energy security for all 27 Member States and attain full energy independence from external suppliers, it must invest in technologies that so far have been blocked by a powerful gas and oil lobby and sabotaged by short-sighted politicians. Renewables, hydrogen and most importantly energy power based on fusion technology must become a top priority for the EU in the next year and in the decade to come.

Г-жо Комисар, скъпи колеги, почти три месеца Путин води кървава и опустошителна война срещу Украйна. Той не прави разлика между военни и цивилни, между домове и военни обекти. Русия излива целия си военен капацитет върху една суверенна държава.  Ние искаме да спрем притока на средства към Русия, за да не може тези средства да се използват за още повече убийства в Украйна. Затова искаме да наложим ембарго върху петрола и казваме, че ще откажем да плащаме за газ в рубли. Но държави в Европейския съюз всъщност продължават да купуват руски газ. Така, както прави българското правителство. Други искат изключение от ембаргото за петрол. Отново, както българското правителство. Трети казват, че ще наложат вето на тези санкции. Отново, както прави българското правителство. А пък други просто плащат и някои от тях плащат в рубли.  И затова се питам. Къде са нашите ценности днес? Къде е нашият избор? Ние, европейците и нашите правителства, наистина е време да започнем да правим само това, което говорим, и да говорим само това, което смятаме да правим.

Panie Przewodniczący! Pani Komisarz! Dziękuję za plan RepowerEU. Wszyscy widzimy, że Rosja prowadzi wojnę nie tylko na terenie Ukrainy, ale i wojnę hybrydową, energetyczną z krajami Unii Europejskiej. Rosja, wiedząc, że nie może wygrać z całą Unią, atakuje pojedyncze kraje, takie jak Polska, Bułgaria, Finlandia, chcąc rozbić wspólnotę Unii Europejskiej. Nie możemy na to pozwolić.  Dlatego zgodnie z pkt 42 ppkt 7 Traktatu o Unii Europejskiej musimy dać wspólną odpowiedź na ewidentną agresję ze strony Rosji. Odpowiedzią powinno być ustanowienie prawdziwej wspólnoty energetycznej. Dziękuję Komisji za utworzenie energetycznej platformy oraz wzywam do natychmiastowego utworzenia wspólnego mechanizmu zakupu surowców energetycznych, tak jak to zostało zrobione dla zakupów szczepionek.  Już dzisiaj widzimy konkurencję cenową pomiędzy naszymi krajami, które chcą się szybko uniezależnić od zakupów paliw z Rosji. Wspólne zakupy zapewnią niższe ceny paliw, dywersyfikację dostaw oraz większe bezpieczeństwo energetyczne Europy.

Signor Presidente, signora Commissaria, onorevoli colleghi, come dimostra l'interruzione delle forniture a Polonia e Bulgaria, siamo di fronte alla necessità di ridurre in modo sostanziale la nostra dipendenza dalle importazioni di combustibili fossili dalla Russia. Il nuovo pacchetto REPowerEU non rappresenta più solo una scelta ambientale, ma puntualizza strategie e misure che devono portare l'Europa a recuperare la propria sovranità energetica. Il tempo non mi permette che di citare solo due punti che ritengo molto importanti. Il primo: se in questi anni il dispiegamento delle energie rinnovabili non è stato adeguato, dipende soprattutto da barriere autorizzative complesse e talvolta insuperabili. Il nuovo target del 45 % proposto sarà raggiungibile solo se riusciremo a recuperare e a superare gli ostacoli tramite un vero snellimento della burocrazia su progetti a venire, come ha proposto la Commissione. Il secondo punto riguarda l'efficienza energetica. Siamo molto soddisfatti che la Commissione abbia proposto un target più elevato di riduzione del consumo di energia. Il 13% è la proposta che Renew ha portato avanti in questi mesi: un obiettivo ambizioso ma allo stesso tempo davvero percorribile, che ci permetterà di procedere spediti nell'approvazione di questa direttiva fondamentale.

Mr President, Madam Commissioner, Putin’s criminal adventures make it very urgent now to disconnect from Russian fossil fuels. But we must not only become independent of Russian gas and oil: we need to disconnect from all gas and oil, no matter where it comes from, because all of it accelerates climate change. We must avoid that the urgency of finding alternatives to the supply of Russian gas and oil leads us to strategies, investment and contracts that will end up prolonging the use of these fossil fuels.  It wouldn’t be wise to get rid of a politically uncomfortable dependency on gas to generate others, maybe not so uncomfortable, but just as harmful to the planet. Because the real alternative is to speed up the deployment of renewables, setting more ambitious targets, establishing new legal obligations, and offering more European funding for deployment. That’s why we welcome REPowerEU, but without forgetting that the goal is to remove fossil fuels from our energy mix as quickly as possible and at the same time create 100% clean generation model that is local and distributed.

Meine Damen und Herren in der Kommission, vielleicht steigen Sie endlich mal von Ihrem Elfenbeinturm herunter. Wir brauchen keine ständigen Kompetenzerweiterungen zu Ihren Gunsten unter dem Deckmantel immer neuer Krisenbewältigungen.

Wir brauchen bezahlbare, sichere Energie, und das geht letztlich nur mit weniger Ideologie und einem diversifizierten, technologieoffenen Energiemix europaweit zugunsten aller Länder und Bürger. Wir müssen nicht eine Abhängigkeit durch eine weitere ersetzen, wie es gerade der Fall ist. Echte Solidarität, meine Damen und Herren, bedeutet eben auch die Forderung nach einer umfassenden und sofortigen Energiesicherheitswende.

La Presidente von der Leyen, per giustificare l'inevitabile ricorso al gas, al nucleare, al carbone, ha annunciato con grande enfasi di voler ricoprire le nostre città con pannelli fotovoltaici. Ma chi è che produce la quasi totalità dei pannelli fotovoltaici e che possiede il monopolio dei minerali necessari per realizzarli? La Cina, ovvero il campione mondiale delle emissioni di CO2, della distruzione dell'ambiente, della repressione delle libertà, della violenza etnica e politica, un maestro irraggiungibile anche per la Russia di Vladimir Putin.

Senhor Presidente, Senhora Comissária, o que estamos a viver é o reflexo do problema mais estrutural da dependência energética, para o qual alertamos já há muito tempo. É, por isso, preciso combater os mitos da política energética europeia. O primeiro é o de que o mercado é capaz de se autorregular. O segundo é o de que este problema é temporário e que resulta da invasão da Ucrânia. Agravou, mas não é a causa. Sem alterar as regras do mercado, fixando preços e fortalecendo o controlo público da energia, tudo continuará no mesmo caminho, com os cartéis energéticos que acumulam lucros e distribuem dividendos, ao mesmo tempo que as famílias continuam a pagar.  Temos de investir mais nas energias renováveis e garantir uma verdadeira transição energética. A proposta da Comissão não abandona estes mitos. Admite, pela primeira vez, que a mão invisível do mercado não regula tudo magicamente, mas não retira consequências. Temos, por isso, de ir às causas. Não basta e, sobretudo, não resulta substituir a dependência da Rússia pela dependência da Arábia Saudita ou dos Estados Unidos.  Só um modelo justo, controlado publicamente e compatível com as metas climáticas, pode ajudar à nossa soberania energética.

Vážený pán predsedajúci, hovoríte tu mnohí, že Európa sa musí okamžite odpojiť od ruského plynu lebo kupovaním ruského plynu vraj financujeme ruskú vojnu. Ja sa vás prosím pýtam, čo je to za nezmysel. Čo je to za nezmysel, veď kupovaním plynu predsa zabezpečujeme v prvom rade náš európsky, u mňa slovenský, priemysel, ktorý by bez plynu nevydržal ani jeden deň. To je proste fakt. Máme teraz prestať kupovať výrobky z Číny, lebo financujeme komunistický režim, či arabskú ropu, lebo financujeme Arabov? Slovensko je na sto percent, na sto percent závislé od ruského plynu a všetkých chytrákov ktorí hovoria, že sa musíme okamžite odpojiť, sa pýtam, prečo nám Ukrajina nejde príkladom. Prečo sa Ukrajina, tiež na sto percent, závislá neodpojí ako prvá, prečo Ukrajina platí stále za ruský plyn. Máme ich snáď obviniť, že financujú ruskú inváziu? Nie, nerobíme to. Ja som za, keď sa nájde lacnejší a výhodnejší dodávateľ energií, kľudne nakupujeme ropu a plyn od hocikoho. Ale pokiaľ taký dodávateľ nie je, čo teda nie je, tak vyzývam na rozvahu a chladnú hlavu.
