lpv:spoken text	"I could not support today's reports, which basically back the European Commission's drive to liberalise the electricity and gas markets. Our own experience in Ireland has shown how liberalisation and resulting privatisation have not provided solutions to any problems in the energy sector. Energy prices in Ireland have risen, affecting ordinary families and workers the most over the last few years. During this time of recession, the EU's drive to impose liberalisation in essential sectors of the economy makes less sense than ever. The Commission and the EU must learn to stop trying the same old, failed, neo-liberal policies. I regret that the 'energy package' has won so much support among MEPs today."@en1
