lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, those of you who know me will not be surprised to hear me confirm this evening that, not considering energy to be just another commodity, I and my group are firmly against the new proposals to liberalise the gas and electricity markets. Despite the procedural precautions and despite the undeniable eloquence of our Commissioner and our rapporteurs, we believe that these proposals run counter to the need to save energy and, therefore, to environmental protection. They will lead to job losses and, above all, to further deterioration of public services, and to the deterioration of energy networks and price adjustments, which are land-use planning tools. They will run counter to the diversification of energy sources, even though these are becoming more and more vital. They will favour short-term vision and calculations. The logic of the internal market is thus particularly inappropriate for the energy sector. I will end by reiterating that, far from harking back to the days of state control, I am in favour of a regulated world and a future for which we have prepared. In this sense, energy is a major tool, maybe even the most important tool. Thus, I dare to hope that, mindful of what is at stake, we will ultimately, one day, progress from a simple market logic to a political vision based on the concept of citizenship which is worthy of the heritage which we will leave our children in this field."@en1
