"In recent years, energy supplies have been repeatedly used as a form of political leverage, as exemplified by the gas disputes in the freezing depths of winter. Collaboration in the subdomains of energy policy, for example through joint procurement, in order to obtain favourable conditions, could certainly make sense, yet on principle, I cannot vote in favour of further national competences being handed over to Brussels. This is all the more so the case since – as the past has shown – the EU has a tendency to acquire competences via the back door. It is also impossible not to get the impression that the liberalisation of the energy market has not brought with it anything like what the EU promised. Not only do the subsidies vary sharply, in the energy field in particular, as the Member States favour different energy sources – some favour environmentally friendly technologies, others nuclear power – there is also a sharp variation in respect of different focuses when it comes to energy infrastructure. As I fear that nuclear power could be promoted here via the back door, I voted against this report."@en1
