"Until now, the number of intergovernmental agreements between Member States and third countries in the field of energy is unknown, as Member States are not obliged to notify the Commission of such agreements. According to the Commission, Member States are becoming increasingly obliged to accept regulatory concessions, which is incompatible with European law on the matter. In addition, as the Commission does not know exactly how much energy is being imported, it cannot provide for market fluctuations or the means to alleviate them. Consequently, the Commission has proposed to put in place an information exchange mechanism with regard to energy agreements with third countries. The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance tried to strengthen the proposal by allowing the Commission to have access to agreements before they are signed, in order to be able to advise Member States on their compatibility with the law. Such a measure would also strengthen transparency. The Member States did not want this, and the rapporteur did not seem to care, preferring a bad agreement to no agreement on the subject at all. I personally voted against this text."@en1
