"Mr President, I agree with the Commissioner’s view that it makes no sense to talk about national champions and continental giants and that the approach taken in competition law is to decide on a case by case basis.
The competition policy is key, but it does not resolve everything in the field of energy, and nor does the internal market policy. To talk about energy is to talk about security and general interests. Energy is vital and it essentially falls within the Member States’ current competences.
There are currently 25 energy markets with great disparities, asymmetries in regulations and operators who work according to differing strategic options and foreign policy commitments.
We need a homogenised system with harmonised conditions of play. The big operators cannot impose or predetermine these conditions. A European energy market, with European energy services, will not create itself, but will result from the European method, from common commitment and action. Europe needs an agenda and leadership in order to make this possible.
We Socialists advocate a European energy policy, as laid down, for the first time, in the European Constitution. Rather than resentful words condemning patriotism, we need intelligent action in favour of Europeanism."@en1
