"Mr President, I have taken the floor to inform the Members who will listen to me of the significance of an amendment I have tabled, Amendment No 22 to be precise. It raises a number of issues which relate to the region I represent, Sardinia, but which also concern all the islands in the Community and, therefore, around 15 million citizens dispersed throughout all the seas of Europe.
The general framework governing the trans-European networks described in this proposal includes, of course, the desire and the intention to help the underdeveloped regions. The amendment I have tabled equates the situation of the islands to that of the less-developed regions, for energy is one of the sectors in which islands are at a greater disadvantage: there is not one island on our continent that does not have an energy problem in terms of cost, quantity, capacity for progress and economic development.
Some practical measures have been taken, for an important project has been included in the list of projects of common interest which concerns two islands in the Community – Sardinia and Corsica – specifically, the gas pipeline which will convey a considerable amount of methane gas from Algeria to Italy, France and southern Germany. It has been included among the projects of common interest but not yet among the priority
projects.
I therefore hope that, if the European Parliament adopts my amendment, a further boost will be given to this project whose implementation is awaited by a significant part of Europe, and, if possible, to other projects, which will then be practically implemented."@en1
