lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first I wish to thank the rapporteurs for drafting these reports. The amendments to directives have improved some, if I may say so, rather poor proposals by the Commission. The amendments adopted by the committee, however, do not as yet go far enough, as has been said here in a good number of speeches. Responsibility for maintaining security of energy supply lies mainly with national energy policy. To improve security of supply we also have to conclude agreements with other countries. Member States must be able to decide freely on the organisation of security stocks. Some Member States of the Union have abandoned the use of public stockholding bodies. They have succeeded in organising matters efficiently and cost-effectively by other means. That is why Member States should be able to determine and decide when it is permissible to site oil stocks in another Member State without jeopardising security of supply. Siting security stocks abroad must, however, be carried out on the basis of contracts between the countries and in compliance with current practice. The special circumstances obtaining in each Member State have to be taken into account to ensure supplies of energy. To improve security of supply it is also important to ensure that there is a diversity of energy sources and an even distribution of energy providers. I also wish to remind everyone that promoting the use of local renewable energy increases security of supply, reduces dependence on imports of energy and also creates employment."@en1
