Brussels, 07/05/2010 (Agence Europe) - The Greens/EFA party at the European Parliament say that the idea of a new European Energy Community mooted by Jacques Delors and the President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, will only work if it aims at encouraging the development of renewable energy. At the moment, the idea does not have clear objectives, explain the Greens. Changing the EU economy to that it relies on 100% renewable sources of energy is the only way of ensuring energy supplies and meeting climate change objectives, they explain. Recent research has shown that the 100% renewables target is a realistic goal that Europe can meet by 2050 and it would not be any more onerous than other options. Former EU Budget Commissioner, Green Party member Michaele Schreyer, published proposals in 2008 for a European Energy Community based on renewable energy with coordinating at EU level and EU funding to speed up the transition to an economy relying on 100% renewable energy. Jacques Delors should take up Schreyer's ideas, commented Luxembourg MEP Claude Turmes and German MEP Rebecca Harms in a press release. (E.H. trans fl)
