".
We obviously cannot ratify the report by Alain Lipietz, which expresses its 'profound disappointment at the lack of progress in the effective liberalisation of European gas and electricity markets'. On the contrary, we call on citizens to rise up against such a plan. Like the majority of them, our 'awareness […] remains very limited' of the benefits of the competition policy conducted at EU level, as it translates into restructuring, redundancies and a low-cost method of satisfying social needs.
Rather than this policy, which is at least as stupid as the Stability Pact, we are in favour of structural policies, planned at European level, for example in the fields of transport and energy. In general, the Commission’s approach aims to make such policies entirely impossible, particularly by reducing state aid, which is systematically portrayed as being harmful. Unlike the rapporteur, we do not support 'the Commission's continued commitment to reducing state aid still further'. We will therefore vote against his text, which is a mark of unreservedly rallying to the neo-liberal ideology."@en1
