lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, a French-owned company is able to sell electricity to the British Prime Minister. I would like to ask the Commissioner when we are likely to see a situation when an English-owned company will be able to sell electricity to the French Prime Minister. Until that situation is reached, the idea of an internal market in energy is a political mirage. There has been a lot of comment about the pressure under which this debate is taking place. When the Commission's proposals first came out, it was the view of the British Government that they could be accepted as they stood. We have managed to bring in hundreds of amendments, which says a lot for the fertile imagination of Parliament. We make a bit of a rod for our own backs at times. By trying to bring in issues such as energy efficiency, renewable energy and social issues we complicate the matter further, these are better left for other types of legislation. I should like to make two points. On independent regulation, we regard this as essential if an internal market is to develop, because it provides the predictability and stability which consumers and new entrants need; but it should be for the Member State to reflect the different structures of national markets. On the question of third-party access to infrastructure, market entrants need to know that they can access infrastructure on the same terms as those that already exist. And they should be approved by the national regulator, rather than be the subject of one-sided negotiations between a monopoly infrastructure operator and a potential user."@en1
