"The next item is Question Time (B6-0384/2007 ).
However, in the energy trade, the distinction between production and services is not always clear.
In the run-up to the inclusion of energy policy as a competence of the European Union in the new Treaty, what measures will the Commission take to tailor WTO rules to energy investments and energy services as well?
We gave a long time to that debate because of its importance, and we hope to be able to continue over our time with Question Time to make up.
Because we are late, first of all we shall try to deal with the supplementary questions each time as a group so that we can try to get through more questions this afternoon and also, as normal, I would invite Members to come to the front to participate more closely in Question Time.
Commissioner, I am sorry you have had to wait, but it was an important debate, as I am sure you will acknowledge.
The following questions are addressed to the Commission.
Question No 34 by Lambert van Nistelrooij ()
Although the rules of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) were not formulated with energy products and services specifically in mind, they also apply to them and protect investments in the energy sector. Accordingly, export restrictions and discrimination against products are prohibited, and free trade must be guaranteed, although there are exceptions for measures in the interests of safety."@en1
