"− I opposed this resolution. The proposed taxation of energy products and electricity will have a significant negative impact on the autonomy of Member States’ energy tax regimes, and on businesses operating in the energy market. Automatic indexation of minimum rates would remove Member State control over the level of future EU minimum rates. I believe that Member States themselves should choose the most appropriate means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It should be noted that the energy prices have recently increased and are high. However, the application of this directive would cause them to increase even more. The final customer would therefore be exposed to unreasonable and disproportionate burdens. The difficulties and problems faced by EU consumers and industry would also increase. I therefore believe that greater attention should be paid to industrial policy. This directive should not be applied to energy-intensive industry."@en1
