lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as a British Member talking about making the internal energy market for the EU work, I must say that my own Member State has fully embraced its EU partners when it comes to the supply of energy. In my own constituency of Wales, RWE, a German company, recently spent GBP 450 million on non-renewable energy generation and a further billion pounds on a state-of-the-art gas power station in Pembrokeshire. EDF, a French company, is one of the largest suppliers of electricity to domestic households in the UK and operates many of our British nuclear power stations. A new Welsh nuclear power plant in Anglesey will be developed by a Japanese company as a result of a competitive tendering process encouraged by EU rules. Most of the UK’s energy network is now operated by non-British firms. However, the full benefits of open competition are not yet being felt by our consumers in the UK as a result of protectionist policies in other EU Member States that continue to engage in heavy state ownership or state subsidies. I hope that this new initiative from the Commission can provide a real road map for reducing prices to consumers and bringing down those elements of fuel prices that are within our control."@en1
