The promotion of international trade in gas and electricity leads to more problems in the field of the environment, consumer protection and price stability. This is a comment in connection with the Mombaur report. As transpired yesterday – much to the chagrin of the spokesperson of the PPE-DE Group – the rapporteurs Turmes and Rapkay have made proposals to moderate the effects of the Mombaur report. Their intention is noble, but difficult to implement, because it aims to combine two incompatible objectives. They accept more emphasis on market forces, which centre on growth and profits, while trying to protect the environment and consumers. I welcome their attempt to give customers a percentage breakdown in their bills and in information leaflets explaining the origin of electricity and the effects on the production of greenhouse gases and nuclear waste, and to apply this to imported energy. I also support financial measures to promote investments in total energy and windmills. I am less keen on the importance being accorded to attempts also to liberalise biogas and to ensure that environmental obligations do not restrict competition between companies, although this may be a concession to the majority in the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy. Although I reject the circumstances under which this proposal has been made, unlike my group, I gladly support it in the absence of anything better."@en1
