"Madam President, just how serious the issue of energy supplies is can be seen from the recent imperialist invasion in Iraq and the squabbling both before and after over how to divide up the spoils. The particular issue of oil and natural gas reserves which we are examining here cannot resolve the overall problem, especially when it is addressed within the framework of the liberalisation of the market, rather than with the satisfaction of grass-roots needs as the criterion.
The main issue in the new directive is not whether compulsory reserves will be for three or four months, but the fact that controls of reserves and regulatory competence are being shifted from the Member States to the European Commission. If this is accepted, it will undermine still further the facility for energy planning based on the needs of each Member State and will result in an energy sector structured in accordance with the choices of the strong powers of the European Union.
The Communist Party of Greece believes that every country should take measures to reduce energy dependency, make full use of domestic sources and develop and exploit new forms of energy, with the objective of securing cheap supplies for the working classes and protecting the environment. It is, however, more than clear that the
to such energy planning is a radically different social and economic framework."@en1
