lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that mention must be made of the good work carried out in preparation for this debate, especially in view of the decisions to be taken later on by the Council and the Commission, as well as Parliament’s future input. We have witnessed the shattering of an illusion: the State, which, motivated by social ideals, should have achieved adequate regulation of basic services, has almost completely failed in its duty. The ideals of fairness, asceticism and non-profit making have fallen, unable to contend with such a weak market: this has led to abuse, an increase in wastage, privileges, bureaucracy and inequality and, at the same time, falling profits. As a result, we are turning back rapidly – it is to be hoped – to competition, to the market, to the prevailing interest of the consumer and also to the profit-making of private enterprise, which is no longer seen as a negative thing. Of course, some last strongholds remain: monopolies, oligopolies, dominating positions – as the previous speaker mentioned – and also the market, which has been controlled to a great extent by cartels on many occasions and continues to be so now. There are examples of this in Italy: we have two great structures, excessive, unjustified strongholds – ENEL and ENI – which have played a highly egotistical and, in some cases, parasitical role. We need to take appropriate action, not least to establish a direct relationship as regards both energy supply and the management thereof, with monitoring of transfers and measures and of the effectiveness of the product sold. I feel that this should be the subject of forthcoming European Union action."@en1
