"Mr President, Commissioner, the good work carried out by the rapporteurs should enable Parliament to adopt a favourable position on the laborious attempt to achieve full liberalisation of the energy market in Europe, in the interest of businesses and consumers. In the very brief amount of time available to me, I would like to confirm our support for the more stringent measures proposed by the Commission – Article 86 of the Treaty – and push for a majority vote. There are countries such as France, which have a genuine conflict of interests in this sector. The French Government owns EDF so it has every reason to want to maintain the asymmetries in the market which allow EDF to go and take over market segments elsewhere, exploiting its monopoly position and the closed nature of the internal market. That is why I feel that we must go all the way and push for a majority vote at Barcelona too."@en1
