Speech in September plenary session

We have a compromise for the directive on renewable energy sources. As compromises often mean, we have managed to reach a better consensus among the political groups, while no one is completely satisfied. In my speech in plenary, I wanted to remind my colleagues who hesitate on the issue, that we are far from finished with the negotiations. It is therefore extremely important that parliament now approves the compromise we have reached, so that negotiations can continue as soon as possible with the European Council and the Commission in view of our shared ultimate goal of tackling the climate and energy crisis.
