".
My vote and the votes of my fellow Members on the Rapkay-Turmes report can be explained as follows:
1. I am extremely sceptical about Commissioner de Palacio’s point of view regarding the concept of liberalisation seen as a ‘deregulated deregulation’. It expresses no interest or vigilance any more than the social regard that we have for the liberalisation of the gas and electricity sectors.
2. This report, contrary to what one might think, concerns more than just technical issues. It concerns the daily lives of millions of citizens who, in future, will not be able to count on having a uninterrupted gas and electricity supply, which are some of the public services that each State, and now Europe, made a commitment to provide.
3. We have a duty to guarantee the security of the network, to ensure that the service and the prices paid by domestic consumers is protected and that private producers or distributors make investments under their contractual obligations.
4. What image will we give of a Europe where we boast about the opening of the market and reduced prices for consumers when a large part of the population may be unable to gain access to these?
5. The Commission’s resistance to the single tariff regardless of place of residence and the meaning of this vote express a fear of the harmful effects of liberalisation.
6. This also means that we are and will remain vigilant so that the right to energy for all and the protection of citizens’ public services are guaranteed."@en1
