"This third energy package dogmatically persists in following the course of total separation between the energy production side and the distribution networks.
It is aimed at subjecting the entire energy sector solely to the laws of the free market and to everyone competing with everyone else.
As the same causes produce the same effects this will lead the European Union to an even bigger disaster than that experienced by California in the year 2000.
This policy is bad for consumers, bad for the industry’s employees, bad for SMEs and SMIs, bad for jobs, bad for security and bad for the environment. The market and the private sector are incapable of meeting the energy needs of Europeans and of responding to the challenges of global warming and the post fossil fuel era. Their prime objective is to pay out as much as possible to their shareholders, not to act in the general interests of the nation.
We need a proper internal market for energy in Europe and this will only be achieved on the basis of cooperation. The energy sector needs to be guided by coordinated public action from the Member States, not by the activities of the financial markets. The EU has to take steps to ensure that energy is recognised as a global public resource and not as just another commodity to be bought and sold."@en1
