takes the view that, with respect to the climate and energy target (reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 %, increasing the share of renewable energy sources to 20 % and improving energy efficiency by 20 %), enhanced environmental quality must remain a priority in the Structural Fund programmes in all the Member States and points out that around third of the total cohesion resources (EUR 105 billion) is being deployed to this end in the current funding period; also points out that the creation of new funding instruments in the area of climate policy at international level must not lead to cuts in resources for cohesion policy; and re ...[+++]news its request that the overall balance of investments should not result in additional greenhouse gas emissions;

The control of European energy consumption and the increased use of energy from renewable sources, together with energy savings and increased energy efficiency, constitute important parts of the package of measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and with further Community and international greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments beyond 2012.

Meeting the EU's commitment to act now on greenhouse gases should be at the centre of the new European Energy Policy for three reasons: (i) CO2 emissions from energy make up 80 % of EU GHG emissions, reducing emissions means using less energy and using more clean, locally produced energy, (ii) limiting the EU's growing exposure to increased volatility and prices for oil and gas, and (iii) potentially bringing about a more competitive EU energy market, stimulating innovation technology and jobs.

Project-based mechanisms including Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are important to achieve the goals of both reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the cost-effective functioning of the Community scheme.

Member States shall, in accordance with Article 3 of Decision No 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol , report to the Commission every two years on the extent to which domestic action actually constitutes a significant element of the efforts undertaken at national level, as well as the extent to which use of the project mechanisms is actually supplemental to domestic action, and the ratio between them, in accordance with the ...[+++] relevant provisions of the Kyoto Protocol and the decisions adopted thereunder.
