"Mr President, Commissioner, energy is produced heterogeneously among the Member States. In some countries, cheap hydro-electric energy is of key importance; in others, cheap nuclear energy. In other countries, electricity is produced by burning ever more expensive fossil fuels or by means of expensive wind power. The picture of the market is further muddled by the EU’s emissions rights trading scheme, and we do not know what the future holds for that in 2008, let alone 2013.
Connecting the EU’s electricity networks does not solve all the problems. Harmonisation of the market will produce winners and losers. There are many countries that will not agree to invest in interconnecting networks or pay a high price for electricity just so that it might be cheaper in another country. I am glad that the Commission’s standard answer this time has not been that the harmonisation of markets solves everything, but that instead it is actually trying to find out what this was all about."@en1
