"Mr President, today we have to vote on speeding up the liberalisation of the energy sector. Following in the footsteps of air transport, telecommunications, rail transport and postal services, it is now the turn of the energy sector to suffer market dictatorship in the form of total openness to competition, in 2003 for electricity and 2004 for gas. All things considered, however, we cannot say that the opening up of public enterprise capital has been conclusive. The anticipated increase in productivity did not take place. For the user, the dismantling of public services has led to reduced security and quality of service and prices have risen by 30% for gas and 5% for electricity. As far as the workers are concerned, we have seen significant job losses: 300 000 have already been lost in this sector in Europe. The public have experienced increased inequality. Only a handful of shareholders and investors have benefited from deregulation. Today, however, we must promote a new energy policy; now, more than ever before, we must coordinate public services at European level."@en1
