"Mr President, Commissioner, here in the European Parliament, we often debate issues relating to energy poverty. We talk about energy supply and the switching of energy sources. However, as long as manipulation and a lack of transparency are the order of the day, it will be very difficult to make any progress. In that sense, a weakly regulated energy market will function just as badly as a weakly regulated financial market. We have seen what can happen.
The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) will now have a stronger position. Clearly, we must also fight for more resources in order to be able to use this position. We will have a register and we will have sanctions, which is good for electricity consumers. However, I would have liked to have seen much more in the way of regulations. I do not have a blind faith in the free, wholly unregulated market, which is very clear when it comes to energy issues in particular. I am nevertheless very grateful for the work that has been done by the rapporteur and everyone else. This is the first step in the right direction."@en1
