"Mr President, I would like to apologise for not being in the Chamber for the full debate, but we also have running side-by-side a debate with people with disabilities – the ‘Freedom Drive’ – and it is very difficult to do both.
I wish very briefly, within the time available to me, to draw attention to Article 13. Commissioner, I think you may be aware that Ireland is concerned about the wording of Article 13, which we believe goes beyond the standard ‘effective, dissuasive and proportionate’ wording. We have advised that we will insert a declaration in the text indicating that we will place particular emphasis on Recital 23, which refers to the application of the penalties ‘in accordance with national law’, as there could be a constitutional issue in relation to the separation of powers. We are not convinced that the wording of Article 13 would not impact on this issue. On the wider content of this debate, however, we fully concur. We have an energy market; we need to ensure that consumers are protected. We are moving in the right direction with this."@en1
