This Communication, a strategic review of the European energy situation, introduces a complete set of European Energy Policy measures (the 'energy' package).

Constantly increasing energy efficiency levels is the most important viable long-term policy in order to achieve a sustainable, competitive and secure energy policy for Europe.

C. whereas European energy policy has three main objectives, namely security of supply, competitiveness and environmental protection, and in order to achieve those objectives the current energy situation calls for increased use of, and research into, renewable sources and new technologies,

Average consumption has improved over the last decade, but this improvement has been off-set by the increase in the number of cars and car use, and there are now tendencies to heavier high performance cars that could lead to a further deterioration of the energy situation.

33. Congratulates Bulgaria on the steps taken to ensure a high level of nuclear safety at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant; notes that the Council's Atomic Questions Group has delivered a most favourable report on that high level of nuclear safety and notes the significant contribution by Bulgaria to energy supply in the wider region; recognises that, in the course of accession negotiations with the EU, Bulgaria made considerable compromises with a significant impact on the future energy situation both nationally and in the region; expresses concern that a considerable decrease in the region's reserve generating capacities has now bee ...[+++]n forecast for 2010-2012; emphasises therefore the importance of new capacity construction for maintaining Bulgaria's favourable energy situation on a sustainable basis as well as guaranteeing the security of electricity supply in the region and achieving Kyoto Protocol targets; insists that the Commission must closely monitor developments and provide every assistance in this regard; and calls on the Council, as signatory to the Kozloduy plant closure agreement, to be cognisant of the consequent risk of blackouts in many countries in the region and, therefore, to be prepared to view the closure dates within that agreement more flexibly until new generation capacity can come on stream in Bulgaria, without in any way jeopardising safety requirements, which must take absolute priority;

Honourable Member of the Commission, I propose that the Commission take swift measures in order to get this northern gas to balance our energy situation.
