lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I will outline here a few brief views. The internal market is the most important source of prosperity that the EU provides us with. It is also, without doubt, important for the internal market that we link up gas and electricity networks, including in south-east Europe. As we have heard from a large number of speakers in the Chamber, this would reduce the risk of disruptions in one production unit knocking out large areas. There would be stability. It is truly excellent that we can also look forward to having regulatory authorities of an international nature. Perhaps people in the region will also learn to cooperate with each other and thus minimise the risks of violent conflicts of the type seen in the past. So far so good – but then comes the poison arrow. All of a sudden, one reads in the report that if we have a common market then this naturally leads to a common external policy. This is not at all the case, but it is possible misleadingly to make use of such an inference. What we have here is precisely such an abuse in the grand tradition of Jean Monnet. Instead of having an open debate about the pros and cons of a common external policy, such a policy is sneaked in in a completely different context. This is a very common technique. In reality, we know that the people of Europe do not want more supranationalism. This fact is revealed the minute the will of the people is allowed to show itself through popular referendums instead of being filtered through the political establishment. I contend that the text concerning a common external policy should be expunged. Solutions to energy problems in south-east Europe should not be used as a means to promote such a policy."@en1
