"Mr President, I read the Turmes report on electricity very carefully and I voted for it. How could anybody fail to support any initiative which stresses the importance of electricity, of which we are all aware? However, I have taken the floor to explain my reasons for voting in this way because I wish to say that, once again, there is something missing. The Turmes report lacks a recommendation to provide the most vulnerable citizens of our Union, who have the lowest economic means, not with electricity at a reduced price, but with free electricity. Nowadays, it is impossible to live without electricity. Electricity is like the water we drink and the air we breathe. Do we pay for the air we breathe? Then we should not have to pay for electricity either if we do not have the means to do so."@en1
