lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Council’s decision to launch the internal electricity and gas market by 2014 has certainly encouraged the preparation and adoption of this legislative document. However, why was the Council so resistant in adopting it afterwards? Is this a misunderstanding or might it be interfering with monopolies? It is very interesting to follow the Union’s legislative procedures. They usually begin with debates about the added value that a certain common policy would bring for all Member States. This is followed by commitments in principle to draft certain policies. Finally, the painstaking work of drafting legislative documents, in other words negotiations on how we can translate commitments in principle into legislation, begins. Any new EU legislative document means partly transferring national competence to the Union. However, in many cases, Member States have been reluctant to accept this. This has also been the case with the document we are debating today. Although, so far, this has only been about setting up an information exchange mechanism and not about establishing effective control over the powers of Member States. The legislative text is rather weak, but it will mean that we are starting to monitor intergovernmental agreements, which will lead to a more coordinated external energy policy of the Union. It is a start. In the future, this mechanism will be made much more sophisticated - should the actual situation so require. It is right and proper that we support it in the interest of further developing a common energy policy."@en1
