EXTRACT: The spring 2007 European Council called on Member States and EU institutions to
pursue actions to develop a sustainable integrated European climate and energy policy.
The Council notably stated, 'Given that energy production and use are the main
sources for greenhouse gas emissions, an integrated approach to climate and energy
policy is needed to realise this objective. Integration should be achieved in a mutually
supportive way. With this in mind, the Energy Policy for Europe will pursue the
following three objectives, fully respecting Member States' choice of energy mix and
sovereignty over primary energy sources and underpinned by a spirit of solidarity
amongst Member States:
a) Increasing security of supply;
b) Ensuring the competitiveness of European economies and the availability of
affordable energy;
c) Promoting environmental sustainability and combating climate change.'
As a milestone in the creation of this Energy Policy for Europe, the European Council
supported a comprehensive Energy Action Plan for the period 2007/2009 and invited
in particular the Commission to submit the proposals requested in the Action Plan as
speedily as possible. One of these proposals relates to the review of the Community
guidelines on State aid for environmental protection.
