Moreover, the Impact Assessment accompanying the Communication "Stepping up Europe's 2030 climate ambition - Investing in a climate neutral future for the benefit of our people", declares that raising the ambition to 50 % or 55 % would lead to far-reaching and inequitable socio- economic effects, particularly in Member States and regions that remain coal- dependent. Therefore, the principle of solidarity, as enshrined in Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) must be fully respected.

Member States should be free to choose their energy mix according to their own energy resources and needs which differ from country to country because of geography or history. Targets for renewable energy use should take into account these differences and should not interfere with the principle of subsidiarity and with the fact that countries' energy needs differ.
