"Mr President, before I go further I would just like to pay tribute to the rapporteur, Mrs Morgan. I know she is about to leave this place and, though we do not always agree on issues, I think everyone will agree that she has done a tremendous amount of work on this report.
We all know, if we look at the history of liberalisation in the EU, that telecoms liberalisation has been a great success, offering choice, lower prices and better services to consumers right across the EU. It is a shame that the postal market and the energy market, in particular, have lagged behind in this respect. This is certainly a few steps in the right direction, but we still need to sort out the problem of network unbundling and also access to other markets.
It is not right that some markets, such as the UK market, remain open to competition, whereas companies in Germany and France are able to access the UK market, yet prevent companies from the UK and other countries accessing their own market. The time for protectionism is over. It is time to have more faith in the market."@en1
