European Parliament
David Martin (PSE ). –
I would like to congratulate my colleague Eluned Morgan on an excellent report which points the way towards a ‘green’ energy policy for Europe. I particularly support her call for a radical reform of the Emissions Trading Scheme to create a low carbon economy driven by a set target for a reduction of EU carbon emissions of 30% by 2020 and 60-80% by 2050. She is correct to call for enhanced R[amp]D on clean energy technologies and for a step-change in energy efficiency. I hope when EU leaders meet next March to discuss energy policy they all have a copy of this report in front of them and that they take its recommendations seriously.
