"I will limit myself to segregated decommissioning funds. These funds are the single biggest distortion in the liberalised EU electricity market. EDF, EON and RWE are buying up other companies with billions from these funds.
Mrs de Palacio, when we discussed the Liberalisation Directive, we as a Parliament said that we should tackle this problem under the EU Treaty. You said: 'Don't worry, we will tackle it under the nuclear package under the Euratom Treaty, because that is a good way to do it'. I did not trust you at that time. Today we know that you fooled us. You knew one-and-a-half years ago, through your legal services, that it is not possible under Articles 31 and 32 to have segregated decommissioning funds. You waited for the legal services of Parliament and the Council to come out with it, but you knew it! I challenge you to publish the legal service advice on the nuclear package so that the whole world will know that you fooled us on this issue.
Mr Chichester, as a fair and plain-speaking English MEP, you got directly to the point when you asked what added value the directive has. It is a public relations exercise for the European public. You understood very well what this is about."@en1
