"As it stands, the management of intergovernmental agreements between individual Member States and third countries is more complex than ever before. Not only do we not know their exact number, but since there is no obligation to inform the Commission and the other Member States, we find ourselves faced with agreements that contradict or are incompatible with EU legislation on the energy market. Consequently, a set of regulations that brings about a clear break with the past seems equally urgent. Hence, legislation should require final agreements to be notified to the Commission and made subject to its approval. Moreover, it would be a good idea if the Commission were to be granted an compliance check, thus avoiding any time and resources being wasted. Unfortunately, however, this approach – which is the only option that is really compatible with the very idea of the EU – is once again being steamrollered by the interests of the Member States and their desire to act freely in delicate areas like the energy sector. It is nevertheless regrettable to note that the moderate and conservative forces of this House have also taken the same position, while they should always seek to ensure that EU interests take precedence."@en1
