Herr Präsident, Frau Kommissarin! Gute Gesetzgebung ist nicht nur Ambition, und ich glaube, der EVP war es wichtig, bei den Verhandlungen ein wirklich ehrgeiziges, aber auch realistisches und umsetzbares Gesamtenergieeffizienzziel zu etablieren. Ich glaube, dass die Richtlinie jetzt den Mitgliedstaaten die Möglichkeit lässt, den Verwaltungsaufwand zu minimieren. Ich glaube, dass wir wichtigerweise auch andere Grundsätze wie Kosteneffizienz, Systemeffizienz und Versorgungssicherheit integrieren konnten. Es war sinnlos, die Speicher in die Energieeffizienzrichtlinie einzubauen. Es benötigt den Hochlauf von Elektrifizierung, und ich glaube, wir haben in dieser Richtlinie einfach vieles geradegerückt. Wichtig ist, dass wir sichergestellt haben, dass die Mitgliedstaaten bei der Anwendung des Grundsatzes der Energieeffizienz den gesamten Lebenszyklus und die absehbaren Entwicklungen, die Systeme und Kosteneffizienz und die Versorgungssicherheit berücksichtigt haben. Mit dem Kompromiss zu einer verpflichtenden 3—%—Sanierungsquote für öffentliche Gebäude sind wir nicht ganz glücklich, da wir damit der Gebäuderichtlinie vorgreifen. Wir dürfen hier den aktuellen Kostendruck auf die Kommunen nicht aus den Augen verlieren. Aber wir unterstützen diesen ambitionierten Schritt.

Domnule președinte, doamnă comisară, stimați colegi, nu cred că există cineva care să nu dorească eficientizarea energetică. Problema este că trebuie să ne gândim la contextul în care facem acest lucru. Când am început noi dezbaterea despre eficientizarea energetică, erau cu totul alte condiții.  Eu vin dintr-o țară comunistă, doamnă comisară. Eu am trăit în frig, am trăit fără lumină, mi-am făcut temele pe întuneric. Nu vreau ca copiii și nepoții mei să pățească același lucru. Să știți că cetățenii din România, din țara mea, sunt foarte îngrijorați, pentru că informațiile sunt aiuritoare. „Să consumați energie și să vă limitați la cât puteți plăti”.  Nu putem „Patul lui Procust”, doamnă comisară. Țările sunt dezvoltate diferit, nu putem să avem aceiași indicatori, aceleași pretenții, la salarii diferite. Cred aici că trebuie să flexibilizați foarte mult, să sprijiniți statele membre care sunt, economic, mai puțin dezvoltate, să poată să susțină consumatorii vulnerabili, dar și industria și întreprinderile mici și mijlocii și microîntreprinderile.  Eu am fost raportoare din partea Comisiei TRAN, am încercat să depun câteva amendamente. Sunt inginer de profesie și eu cred că trebuie să ne gândim la impact. De aceea, vă rog, doamnă comisară, și rog și colegii, să ajungem la o înțelegere, încât această economisire a energiei să nu ducă la viață nedemnă pentru cetățenii noștri.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, poštovani kolege, u trenucima kada naši građani počinju dobivati ogromne račune za energiju, kada europsko gospodarstvo trpi zbog tih visokih cijena, kada mnoge europske zemlje i dalje pune rusku blagajnu kupujući njihov plin ili bi bar to htjeli, dakle, u ovim trenucima smanjenje stakleničkih plinova nije i ne smije biti prvi cilj, već sigurna opskrba Europe energijom.  Ta se dva cilja donekle poklapaju, ali su u velikoj mjeri i različiti. Zaista ne možemo u prvi plan stavljati tridesetogodišnje ekološke ciljeve dok građani i vlasnici tvrtki nastoje preživjeti tridesetodnevno razdoblje i platiti mjesečne račune.  Struja ne treba biti tako skupa. Cijena struje ne smije više biti vezana za cijenu plina jer mnogi koji proizvode struju iz drugih izvora sad bilježe ogromne profite.  Danas nam treba realan pristup energetici i zato zaboravite, bar nakratko, svoj zeleni PR i poslušajte građane i njihove potrebe!

Voorzitter, beste collega’s, ieder weldenkend mens die naar zijn energierekening kijkt, snapt het belang van bijvoorbeeld woningisolatie. Daar hebben we geen vanachter een bureau bedachte doelstellingen voor nodig. In het debat over energiebesparing mis ik echter wel iets zeer wezenlijks, namelijk de oproep tot soberheid. Want met onze westerse levensstijl zijn we enorme energieslurpers geworden. De honger naar een nóg groter huis, een nóg grotere auto en een nóg luxere vakantie is nagenoeg niet te stillen. Bij Thomas a Kempis, een belangrijk middeleeuws theoloog, las ik: “Een trots en hebzuchtig mens vindt nooit rust, maar wie eenvoudig en bescheiden is, zal de innerlijke vrede rijkelijk ten deel vallen.” Voorzitter, we moeten dus breder kijken, niet alleen naar technische maatregelen, maar ook naar onze manier van leven. Dat niet alleen om energie te besparen, maar ook voor innerlijke vrede en vrede met God. U begrijpt: dit is vooral een oproep aan de welgestelden en zeker niet aan degenen die in de rij staan bij de voedselbank.

Г-н Председател, уважаеми колеги, разбира се, че както практически всички, които се изказаха в днешния дебат, категорично подкрепям високата амбиция в сферата на енергийната ефективност.  Тя има тази особеност, че едновременно постига екологичните ни цели, икономическите, енергийните, геополитическите ни цели с едни и същи мерки. Ние надали имаме друга толкова универсална политика. Преди всичко има огромен ефект върху социалните ни цели и като Съюз, и като държава, защото няма съмнение, че хората с ниски доходи са тези, които страдат най-много от високите енергийни сметки. Но въпреки това не мога да спестя една ключова критика към проекта на Комисията, който ни е предложен, и върху който работим, подготвен преди инфлационната криза. И то е, че той не отчита огромната естествена пазарна мотивация, която всеки бизнес и всяко домакинство има в настоящия момент да премине към по-ефективно потребление или производство. Ние в същност нямаме нужда от допълнителни бюрократични задължения и регулации. Това, от което имаме нужда са мъдри и приложени финансови инструменти, нищо повече.

Mr President, the text is a good one. It further increases the energy-efficiency targets and, most importantly, makes the national energy-efficiency targets legally binding for the first time. It increases the targets for public bodies to reduce their energy consumption and also increases the yearly renovation requirements for public bodies. The new detail in Article 11 on data centres is very welcome. It introduces possible sustainability criteria for data centres and a possible assessment by the Commission of the feasibility of a transition towards net-zero data centres. In Ireland, we have a huge problem with data centres. It’s estimated that by 2030 the demand from data centres could account for up to 36% of Ireland’s electricity demand, driven by the government’s disastrous data-centres enterprise strategy. However, any future sustainability criteria for data centres must insist that data centres are powered directly by onsite renewable-energy generation or at least new offsite renewable generation.

Κύριε Πρόεδρε, κυρία Επίτροπε, η κλιματική κρίση δεν ανεστάλη επειδή ο Πούτιν εισέβαλε στην Ουκρανία. Ούτε η κλιματική αλλαγή σταμάτησε επειδή ο Πούτιν χρησιμοποιεί σαν όπλο την ενέργεια και στην πραγματικότητα δημιουργεί τεχνητή έλλειψη στην ευρωπαϊκή αγορά, πιέζοντας τα νοικοκυριά μας και τις επιχειρήσεις μας.  Η σημερινή συζήτηση αποδεικνύει ότι πρέπει να επιταχύνουμε ειδικά όσον αφορά την ενεργειακή αποδοτικότητα των κτιρίων και αυτό είναι κάτι που πρέπει να γίνει κατεπειγόντως. Και είναι πολύ σημαντικό το ότι έχουμε δεσμευτικούς στόχους, ειδικά για τα δημόσια κτίρια. Τα δημόσια κτίρια αποτελούν έναν τομέα στον οποίο γίνεται κατασπατάληση ενέργειας και τα κράτη μέλη καλούνται τώρα με μεγαλύτερες ταχύτητες να προχωρήσουν· και πρέπει να προχωρήσουν.  Η Ελλάδα διαθέτει ήδη 640 εκατομμύρια ευρώ σε αυτή την κατεύθυνση· το 6% του Ταμείου Ανάκαμψης και Ανθεκτικότητας στην κατεύθυνση της αναβάθμισης των κτιρίων. Κυκλικά υλικά, περισσότερη ενέργεια στην κατεύθυνση της ενσωματωμένης ενέργειας από τα κτίρια και —κυρίως— αυτό που έχει σημασία: χώροι, όπως είναι τα κέντρα διαχείρισης δεδομένων, που θα μπορούν να επιστρέφουν την ενέργεια αυτή στους πολίτες.

Indeed, many challenges lie ahead, and this winter will not be the end of them. We need a European solution that will last, based on solidarity and joint effort. The vote for the ambitious report on the Energy Efficiency Directive recast proposal will be part of this solution. Indeed, the recast Energy Efficiency Directive will set the framework for actions which are urgently needed.  The proposed amendments on energy efficiency targets, as well as the concrete measures to achieve them, appear to me as a good start for the next steps in the negotiations.  Let me finish by thanking you again for your work on such an important proposal. I do hope that we can see the adoption of the recast EED as a strong EU contribution to support our economy and society as swiftly as possible. Having seen the constructive discussions in Parliament, and also in the Council, I am very much looking forward to finalising the process.

I want to thank, in particular, Pernille Weiss from the EPP, Nicola Danti from the Renew Group, and not least, Jutta Paulus from the Greens. They are the people that also backed this agreement, along with me, and I think that if we stick together like we’ve done – I mean, we have our different points of view on different aspects, but I think we’ve managed to make an agreement where we take into consideration the different perspectives that we have and we’ve managed to increase the ambition level, basically. I think it was a good proposal that the Commission put on the table. I think our agreement is even better. The Commission proposed, originally, to have a target of 36% then raised the target to 39%, in relation to REPowerEU, and we raised it another notch to 40%. Now these percentages might seem like a small deal, but actually, a 40% target will have the effect that we can cut gas emissions by 190 billion cubic metres annually. We can cut gas imports by that number. That equals three and a half times Nord Stream 1 capacity. So, three and a half times Nord Stream 1 capacity, less gas imports – this is the potential of this deal.  I think we have a good result here and I look forward to voting on Wednesday and to the further negotiations with the Council.

Nadie está en contra de adoptar medidas ambiciosas para gestionar la pesca. Sin embargo, las medidas ambiciosas deben ser acordadas e implementadas por todos. Los pescadores de la Unión Europea no deberían ser siempre los que paguen la factura de esas medidas demasiado ambiciosas y unilaterales de la Unión. El objetivo de tener una flota europea ejemplar es loable pero nuestra flota cada vez pierde más competitividad. Cuanto más estrictas son las medidas que adopta la Unión Europea, más dependemos de los productos importados. Los acuerdos en las OROP deben transponerse estrictamente, garantizando unas condiciones idénticas para todos y promoviendo, al mismo tiempo, los elevados estándares de sostenibilidad de la Unión para todas las flotas extranjeras.

En estos informes nos encontramos ante la adaptación al marco normativo de la Unión de normas acordadas en organizaciones regionales de pesca, normas que avanzan en la conservación de los recursos pesqueros vitales para que los ciudadanos tengan acceso a alimentos de calidad y con mínima huella de carbono. La adopción de estas normas vuelve a demostrar que la flota europea se rige por los más altos estándares mundiales de control y calidad. Por lo tanto, es necesario seguir mejorando para alcanzar el rendimiento máximo sostenible en el conjunto de las cuencas europeas, sí, pero debemos reconocer el esfuerzo y compromiso de nuestra flota. Las ratios de mortalidad han caído por debajo de uno y la biomasa se ha incrementado entre un 35 y un 50 % en los últimos veinte años. La flota de la Unión es víctima del cambio climático y una aliada para hacerle frente; por lo tanto, la política pesquera debe profundizar en el diálogo con el sector, sin apriorismos ni unilateralismos, para garantizar la conservación de las poblaciones de peces y el futuro del sector.

Today, we are debating two such organisations and the memberships that we have there, and we, together with the colleagues and the rapporteur, are now implementing better measures for both EU vessels and other vessels in the western and central Pacific area.  For me and Renew, it was very important to the final outcome, besides ensuring correct implementation of the international obligations, that we also included everything being done in a timely manner, that we work to strive for strengthened ocean governance and promoting sustainable fishing management. We managed to secure just those three and also more. We also managed to strengthen control measures in relation to ocean governance and marine litter. I am very proud of the outcome and want to express full support from the Renew team. Thank you so much for the cooperation on this important file.

Notre pêche artisanale est la mieux à même de s’adapter et de réagir rapidement aux évolutions de la ressource locale. Elle est pourtant la première victime du modèle économique de la pêche intensive que l’Union européenne a encouragé avant d’être, hélas, incapable de l’enrayer. C’est tout un modèle de pêche vertueuse et durable que des idéologues ont fait le choix de sacrifier au profit des multinationales. Si la défense de notre souveraineté alimentaire et d’un modèle d’exploitation durable de la ressource tenait réellement à cœur à nos responsables, ils cesseraient de fragiliser nos filières et de prendre des décisions regrettables dont ils tiennent ensuite les gens de la mer pour responsables.

Mais relevante, contudo, são as condições de cada Estado para poder aceder a estas zonas de pesca, algumas com relevância histórica, como é o caso do Atlântico Noroeste, onde ainda algumas embarcações portuguesas operam, tendo o bacalhau como uma das espécies de referência.  Ora, desde a aplicação da Política Comum das Pescas em Portugal, em 86, não só se assistiu à drástica erosão do setor como se deixou de garantir o acesso a pesqueiros tradicionais no exterior. Isso condicionou ou impediu o acesso da frota portuguesa a novas oportunidades de pesca.  É necessária uma política de pescas assente no desenvolvimento do setor em função das necessidades de cada Estado, possibilitando oportunidades de pesca no exterior, contrariando fenómenos de concentração e com adequados meios de apoio, nomeadamente à renovação da frota, e que valorize os profissionais da pesca e os seus rendimentos.

Senhor Presidente, caro Comissário, caros colegas, começo por agradecer à colega Isabel Carvalhais e a todos os envolvidos neste relatório a boa colaboração.  A presente proposta de regulamento relativa à Convenção das Pescas do Pacífico Ocidental e Central é de grande importância, tanto no plano económico como no plano ambiental e na competitividade da pesca europeia. Na qualidade de relatora-sombra, bati-me por três objetivos essenciais. Em primeiro lugar, promover o equilíbrio entre as diferentes frotas que operam nesta parte do oceano. Os atores europeus devem ser defendidos. Em segundo lugar, garantir a implementação atempada deste tipo de regulamento. E finalmente, promover uma abordagem baseada na ciência, na inovação para todas as atividades ligadas à pesca, melhorando práticas, potenciando novas oportunidades e promovendo a sustentabilidade.

Monsieur le Président, Monsieur le Commissaire, nous n’avons pas si souvent que ça l’occasion de parler des organisations régionales des pêches dans notre hémicycle. Et donc, aujourd’hui, évidemment, on va parler de la façon dont on met en œuvre les décisions prises par ces organisations dans le droit de l’Union européenne. Mais ce que je voudrais souligner aussi, c’est que nous participons à l’élaboration de ces décisions. Et ce faisant, l’Union européenne a une voix sur ce qui se passe dans quasiment tous les bassins maritimes du monde. Ainsi, notre vision sur la durabilité et la conservation peut être utilisée, appliquée dans tout le monde. Justement, les ORGP, ces organisations régionales de gestion des pêches, et bien leur développement, leur soutien est absolument crucial. Je voudrais rappeler mon soutien à la création d’une ORGP dans l’Arctique pour mettre en œuvre de façon durable des mesures de conservation suite au moratoire de suspension des pêches. Mais je voudrais dire aussi que la lutte contre la pêche illégale nécessite plus que ces ORGP; elle nécessite surtout une mise en œuvre et donc le renforcement des coalitions internationales contre la pêche illégale.

Senhor Presidente, Senhor Comissário, Cara relatora Isabel Carvalhais, a transposição do Direito da União das medidas de conservação e execução adotadas pela Organização de Pescas do Atlântico Noroeste é crucial para garantir o cumprimento das práticas de pesca sustentáveis nestas águas. É pena que se demore tanto tempo para efetivar esta transposição. A União tem de agilizar estes processos, garantindo a implementação de práticas de conservação e recuperação do pescado, sobretudo minimizando as infrações, nomeadamente de pesca ilegal e não declarada, que lesam quer o ambiente, quer os pescadores da União que cumprem e veem a sua atividade ameaçada por quem prevarica.  Simultaneamente, e não é demais reforçar, enquanto se garantem estas transposições é crucial dotar a Agência Europeia de Controlo das Pescas de meios humanos e materiais que permitam uma luta eficaz contra toda e qualquer prática ilegal.  Nesta, como em todas as organizações, a União deve ter uma voz forte e ativa na conservação do ambiente.

A couple of you – Mr Mato, Mr González and other honourable Members –also made some more general observations on the role of our fishing fleet and on the need to develop management measures in close dialogue with them. I absolutely agree with you, and this is what we, Member States, the European Commission, with your support, are doing and the transposition of files we are discussing today are key for our fleet. That’s why for these reasons we need to join forces in the future to transpose all measures much faster into EU law, simplifying the process. So I hope that I can truly count on your support.  Honourable Members, the adoption of both proposals will update the relevant regulations with the most recent conservation and management measures. Of course, I hope that we can also make swift progress on the other outstanding RFMO implementation proposals and that we will keep working together towards improving the implementation process.
