"EU consumers have a vital role in enhancing growth, employment and competitiveness, and their interests are a main priority in forming key policies such as health, business and industry, the environment, and energy and transport, among others. Regarding energy, the internal market cannot function properly and competitively due to the existence of so-called ‘energy islands’ such as the Baltic region, which is isolated from the rest of Europe in terms of energy, and is dependent on a single external supplier. The existence of an electricity grid and gas pipeline covering the whole of the European territory must be a priority, as Europe is highly dependent on energy imports. The electricity market must also adopt a set of measures aimed at total openness, for the benefit of European consumers. Favourable conditions need to be created for genuine and fair competition and the creation of a real single market. Member States must take all measures necessary to carry out clear objectives, particularly the protection of vulnerable consumers, the protection of basic consumer rights, and economic and social cohesion."@en1
