lpv:translated text	"Energy is not a marketable commodity like any other! How many times have I already said and repeated that? Given the balance of power in the European Parliament and in Europe, it will be an arduous struggle. To this end, I have signed a compromise amendment to Article 19, tabled by Mr Herzog and Mr Savary, which alters the deadlines and conditions for open competition and insists on scope for cross-subsidisation to guarantee equality of charges for residential clients. This is why I voted against the report in the final vote. France should uphold this position at the Barcelona Council. Account must be taken of the need to guarantee security of supply and the volume of investment this entails. The provision of essential public services and its impact in terms of regional planning must also be taken into account. In spite of all this, following the request made by the European Council at its Lisbon Summit for rapid progress towards the completion of the single market in gas and electricity, the Commission has presented a communication, a draft regulation and a draft directive designed to speed up the liberalisation of the gas and electricity market with a view to the establishment of an entirely open market in 2005. At the Stockholm Summit, the Member States approved this acceleration, with the exception of France, which is strongly opposed to the adoption of that date. The Commission wishes to speed up the opening of the electricity market so as to give non-residential customers a free choice of supplier by 1 January 2003 and to extend the same opportunity to all electricity consumers not later than the beginning of January 2005. In the case of gas, free choice of supplier is to be available to non-residential customers by 1 January 2004 and to all consumers by the start of January 2005. This is utterly irresponsible and unacceptable. It is the distortion of an ultra-liberal Europe that I am resisting."@en1
