Advocates unhappy with new structure on heath and environment.  Schulz has said about the environment:  We need to diversify our energy sources, and reduce the high energy dependency of several of our Member States.  We need to keep our European energy market open to our neighbours. Howeveri if theprice for energy from the East becomes too expensive.

in political terms, Europe should be able to switch very swiftly to other supply

channels.  We need to be able to reverse energy flows when necessary.

And we need to strengthen the share of renewable energies on our continent. This is

not only a matter of a responsible climate change policy. It is, at the same time, an

industrial policy imperative if we still want to have affordable energy at our disposal in

the medium term. I strongly believe in the potential of green growth.

I therefore want Europe’s Energy Union to become the world number one in renewable

energies I would also like to significantly enhance energy efficiency beyond the 2020

objective notably when it comes to buildings and I am in favour of an

ambitious, binding target to this end.  I want the European Union to lead the fight

against global warming ahead of the United Nations Paris meeting

in 2015 and beyond.
