Overall, and in each of its comments, this report does nothing but extol the virtues of competition and the market economy. Its author’s sole concern, under the guise of unifying energy markets in Europe, is to deliver this entire sector into the hands of private profit. Or, more exactly, by separating electricity production and management of the distribution network, the author is prepared to allow states to manage all the areas that require a great deal of investment and offer very little profit, on condition that they hand the profitable areas over to the private sector.
Unification of energy production and distribution throughout the European Union, and the planning and rationalisation of these activities, may represent progress, but only on condition that the whole sector continues to be a public service exclusively concerned with satisfying needs rather than maximising private profit.
The rapporteur’s attitude is the exact opposite of this. Were the ‘liberalisation process’ he advocates to come into force, this would be tantamount to a step backwards. We have therefore voted against this report."@en1
