"I supported the compromise reached after the trialogues on establishing an information exchange mechanism for intergovernmental energy supply agreements with third countries. I consider this hard-won agreement the first legislative step towards creating a common external energy policy of the EU. The compromise does not adhere to the Commission’s proposal and does not meet Parliament’s expectations. Even so, an opportunity has been created for Europe-wide coordination of energy relations with third countries to monitor compliance with European legislation. This establishes legal predictability and stability for investors and the operation of energy infrastructures created with the involvement of third countries. The compromise limits the Commission’s role in negotiations with third countries to that of an observer who may, however, offer advice and assess the agreements’ compliance with European law, when the countries expressly request this. The positive example of the European Commission’s involvement in last year’s negotiations between Poland and Gazprom is encouraging for the Member States from East Europe. The opinion that a common EU agreement on energy supplies from third countries is the ideal solution for securing energy supplies, reducing market fragmentation, increasing competition and ensuring fair energy prices is gaining increasing traction. A more transparent and coordinated EU energy supply policy also means a stronger position for the benefit of European consumers."@en1
