I voted in favour of this report. The fragmentation of the internal market is reducing EU citizens’ confidence in it because they are unable to take advantage of their freedoms. The Commission’s communication presents a toolbox, which should help to achieve a Single Market that is integrated and functions without obstacles, and which could boost Europe’s economic recovery and its competitiveness. I would like to highlight one particularly important aspect – the importance of the creation of a single energy market. A single energy market is especially important for EU competitiveness both within the EU and externally. The creation of such a market would help reduce external dependence and make energy prices more affordable, fair and competitive for our citizens and businesses. Legislative and non-legislative initiatives on energy should aim at safeguarding the supply of energy through a diversified energy network, new infrastructures of renewable energy and coordinated research and development on new energy sources. Such initiatives should be taken on a basis of close coordination between the Commission, the Member States and the relevant sectors of the industry. A real deepening of the Single Market benefiting citizens, business and European competitiveness must be strengthened by creating infrastructure projects that have added value for the whole of Europe, and which are funded and managed at EU level in order to ensure our energy independence and security."@en1
