"Mr President, I too agree with Mr Liberadzki’s objections to the Port Services Directive, although I would have preferred this battle to be fought with words rather than stones. Two French policemen have been seriously injured today.
I rose to speak about another issue, however. The recent gas crisis involving Ukraine and Russia demonstrated the need for a common energy policy. There are a great many risks associated with a situation in which individual Member States take measures on their own initiative that serve the sole purpose of enhancing their own energy security, by which I mean gas, oil and electricity supplies. It follows that what is needed is genuine cooperation and the establishment of harmonised measures in this field. I am not talking about excessive and overly bureaucratic standardisation, but about a realisation of the fact that the EU Member States form a community that shares common goals and threats.
Economic measures that are justified and understandable at national level should be seen in the broader context of political, geopolitical and energy security concerns. This is a task that faces the European Parliament too, and so I welcome the fact that the President of Parliament has decided that Council and Commission statements on this issue will be included on the agenda."@en1
