"Mr President, I support in principle the idea of a European competitiveness pact, making provision for harmonisation of the retirement age and, especially, speeding up the mutual recognition of academic and professional qualifications, as well as better coordinating research and development efforts.
I stress the need to create a fully integrated European energy market by 2015. Can I hope that, in four years’ time, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will cease to be isolated energy islands where gas supplies are concerned?
We expect a real breakthrough from the Hungarian Presidency in developing an integrated European network of gas, oil and electricity infrastructures and interconnections from the Baltics to the Adriatic Sea.
I also appeal to the Council to safeguard sustainable local production of electricity by creating equal conditions for competition, both for EU and non-EU producers. It is also time that the problem of carbon leakages in the electricity sector was addressed at EU level.
Finally, it is regrettable that the EU Foreign Ministers failed to agree on the clear condemnation of sectarian attacks against Christians in Egypt and Iran. Two weeks ago Parliament provided a solid basis for taking a strong, united position on this dramatic issue. The European Council’s failure to react in time is bound to create an impression that defending traditional Christian minorities outside Europe is not an EU priority."@en1
