"It matters a lot to us how our energy policy and infrastructure are shaped in the future. It is conspicuous that there is increasing competition between Member States concerning energy policy. This is why we need to develop and modernise our infrastructure constantly. We must try to keep national fragmentation to a minimum. We need to pay particular attention to the Member States which are dependent on a single provider.
I would like to highlight here the vulnerability of Central European countries where gas supply is concerned. We need to take this into consideration in future infrastructure development so that we can eliminate it to some extent. We can see positive results in the North-South connection as well, which is a definite improvement. We must build networks that operate efficiently, while taking into account in particular solidarity between Member States. The issues of economic prudence and energy efficiency are of key importance as well. The EU is especially dependent on a few energy sources, which is why we have to manage our existing resources wisely. I think that it is very important for Europe to create a common market, and this report will assist us in this. It is unfortunate, however, that the report does not deal with the gas infrastructure in depth. The issue of regional cooperation must be emphasised more. Annex IV to the report by Mr Vidal Quadras, already adopted in the voting for the security of gas supply, may help us in this regard."@en1
