"Mr President, one word on sustainable development and the Lisbon process. This was already addressed by some Members of the Green Group this morning. What should be done in the Stockholm meeting is that the governments' presence there should give the Commission a mandate to take the results of the Gothenburg Summit and to prepare benchmarking and concrete targets for the 2002 spring meeting during the Spanish presidency. Only if sustainable development becomes as important in benchmarking as economic and social values can we advance.
I will take the opportunity to address the liberalisation aspect where there has not been a lot of reflection hitherto in Europe. We need a new merger control and a new competition policy. We have abolished monopolies, but we will have the same operators appearing as oligopolies in Europe if we are not prepared to have a different merger control and competition policy. We need the biodiversity of a lot of small and medium-sized actors and not a monoculture of eight or ten major electricity companies which will employ blackmail on policy-makers as they did before in the monopolistic structures."@en1
