First of all, I should like to thank everyone who worked on this report, especially the shadow rapporteurs, who were beside me not only in the committee, but also during the trialogue with the Council. Together we achieved as much as we could achieve. I give my thanks to you, to the Danish Presidency, of course to the Commission itself for its support, and to all participants in today’s debate.
In summarising it all, let us remember what exactly our main task – the task of politicians – is with regard to energy policy in this particular case. We must think about European energy consumers, about how to ensure competition, to ensure better, lower, fairer prices for our people. Although this draft law is not perfect, it is an important first step towards establishing this information-exchange mechanism, and it will set real foundations, the first legislative foundations on which a common European Union foreign policy on energy will be built. We have some critics who say that they want a perfect law right away, but ladies and gentlemen, let us remember that for a law to be improved – and believe me, virtually any law can always be improved – a law must have been adopted in the first place. There must be a law adopted, and here we have the opportunity to do so, to take the first steps, and to also improve this law as needed by working together in the future.
Thank you all for your work. I urge you to give your support in tomorrow’s vote."@en1
