lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we believe that the liberalisation of the energy markets illustrates once again the conflict between the European institutions and the peoples of Europe. It is highly likely that Parliament’s vote will serve only to support the strategy for the – rapid – liberalisation of the electricity and gas markets and of the public service sector as a whole. The exaltation of the alleged positive effects of competition, namely transparency, lower production costs and increased job possibilities, is being contradicted every day by reality. In actual fact, what are most apparent are non-transparent decisions, the diversion of public funds into private interests, whatever the status of the undertakings, the rapid increase in prices for users, the granting of benefits to unethical private groups and the abolition of hundreds of thousands of jobs in Europe, while, as for workers’ statutes, they have gone right out of the window. For us, energy is an absolutely essential requirement and access to it a fundamental right. We believe that only genuine public, democratic control would allow us to streamline energy production and consumption while still guaranteeing respect for the environment and flat-rate adjustments. This would be an initial step towards a European public service which meets the needs of users and employees today. Parliament appears to be disregarding this concern. If it is to fully shoulder its responsibility to the citizens of Europe, Parliament must reject the directives on the energy sector and launch a genuine democratic debate on the actual effects of the policy which seems to be taking root in the European Union today."@en1
