lpv:translated text	"The European Commission’s proposal to restructure the framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity has been an extremely controversial issue, on which both national and industry interests have sharply conflicted. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) (PPE) managed to put through very good compromise amendments together with other political groups. Nevertheless, a rise in fuel prices would be unavoidable if the proposal were to come into effect. We cannot allow this at a time when many European countries are trying to recover economically from the effects of the global crisis. I believe that this would be an extremely serious ‘blow’ to businesses, and would also have a negative effect on inflation. It is essential for countries looking to join the euro area in the near future and trying to comply with the Maastricht criteria to maintain price stability. As a result, I followed the PPE’s recommendations in the voting on the proposals, but in the vote on the Commission’s proposal as a whole, I voted against, in line with the view of our delegation."@en1
