"Mr President, I should like to thank the speakers for all the comments and interventions. I witnessed an extremely valuable discussion here in Parliament, which will contribute to Friday’s discussion by the heads of state and government on energy and innovation issues.
I wholeheartedly understand Parliament saying that what we are doing for energy or innovation is not enough. We are very committed to the Lisbon Treaty’s provision on the formation of the European internal energy market; we are greatly committed to moving in that direction. Of course, please encourage us to do more in this field. I do not want to go into details because I think Vice-President Šefčovič was very detailed on all the aspects of the future common energy policy in Europe.
The same for innovation. We all believe that we have to put more things on the table concerning innovation; the Innovation Union is a great investment in the future.
A strong Europe cannot live without strong common policies and European energy and European innovation policy should be one of those.
My question to Mr Schulz is why he allowed me answer as a representative of the Hungarian Government. I think Mr Schulz read a different letter from the letter we sent to the Commission. He said that the Hungarian Government neglected the Commission consensus and was not ready to take it into consideration. Let me quote certain lines from this letter, beginning with the statement that the Government of the Republic of Hungary is ready to amend the law on the media. ‘The modification of the legislation could be considered’. ‘The Hungarian Government is also prepared to examine the possibility of finding other legal solutions if necessary’. Finally, ‘if the Commission … still deems it necessary’ after the consultations ‘to amend the Hungarian regulation …, we are prepared to commence drafting these modifications’.
So, I would just like to inform you that, as is clearly stated in the letter, there is a consultation. We are ready. The Commission yesterday said it was pleased that the answer had arrived. Experts will get down to business and it is our job to find a solution to this kind of problem. I very much hope that in the future all kinds of discussions will be dedicated to energy and innovation and not mix up the presidency with some aspects of certain political parties."@en1
