"Mr President, who could be against the construction and maintenance of infrastructures in the energy sector and the integration of energy networks of the countries that are soon to join the European Union? No one would be, of course, if it were truly a matter of meeting the needs of the people. The real issue, however – as the report makes quite clear – is to make the construction and the maintenance of infrastructures in the field of energy subject to the laws of the market. In order to establish a more open and competitive internal market for energy, public funds supplementing private funds will rise from 10% to 20% of total investment. Members from the
are opposed to the use of public monies to increase private profits.
Besides which, the aim of increasing interconnection between gas and electricity networks is not to rationalise energy distribution at EU scale, but instead to open up the entire gas and electricity market to competition. What this means, where France, for example, is concerned, is another step closer to the privatisation of
and
a process that we reject entirely. We reject it, as do the tens of thousands of workers who demonstrated on 3 October in Paris for
to remain public services. We also oppose any attack on salaries or on the pensions of workers in this sector.
The various States or the European Community itself must be able to fund an energy transport network which is fit for the twenty-first century, whose management criteria are not profitability or the quest for profit for a few but which are to meet the energy needs of everyone and equal access for everyone. We do not think, however, think that by allowing themselves to be guided by private interests, the current European institutions will achieve this."@en1
