"I voted in favour of Edit Herczog’s report and of reinforcing the consistency and coherence in the EU’s external energy relations, as well as of strategic and political harmonisation among Member States in negotiations with powerful energy suppliers from third countries. I support the EU having a strong, united voice in external energy relations, enabling it to defend the interests of European consumers and our economy’s competitiveness. We need a well-connected internal market which can, united as one, withstand external pressures and attempts to use energy supplies and prices as a means of exerting political pressure. Diversification of supplies enhances energy security, but only if accompanied by competition between supply sources, which includes increasing the share of liquid gas. Competition needs to be increased in the internal gas market and the price of gas must be decoupled from oil prices, which is hampering the normal operation of the gas market and is a factor sustaining the artificially high price of natural gas. I welcome the setting up of an information exchange mechanism for intergovernmental agreements with third countries in the energy sector, as well as the role of the views of the Commission on these agreements, which will guarantee uniform compliance with European legislation on the internal energy market."@en1
