"Energy safety and solidarity are our main European goals. The fulfilment of these goals can only be achieved through Europe-wide energy grids. We also need new infrastructure to complete the single energy market – especially as we start the move towards green energy. This means the greater decentralisation of energy sources and thus better networks. The Commission is planning major renewable-energy projects in the North Sea and North Africa. However, it would be futile to build energy projects if the networks that they will connect to are too old to cope with the new energy. Europe needs more internal and international interconnectors. We must ensure that supply routes serve the general European interest and not that of individual Member States. At the same time as it builds new routes, the Union must also focus on the modernisation of national grids, and support the Member States in this task. This is especially true in Central and Eastern Europe, where the grids are the weakest. Member States need to rebuild their networks. In order to do so, they need clear EU rules on what state aid they can provide and where they can build. Thank you."@en1
