lpv:translated text	". − I could only vote in favour of this report. To say yes to all the forces for liberalisation of the electricity market is to say yes to a fairer, more competitive and more transparent market. However, it is not only the correctness of this report, which places the consumer at the heart of the issue, that attracts me. With increasing energy prices and a lack of competition in national markets, there is a danger of increasing the number of citizens excluded from accessing energy. I therefore agree with the social concerns expressed as, for the first time, the concept of ‘fuel poverty’ has been defined, drawing attention to the importance of the Member States developing national plans which cover all citizens. Given the current situation in the national energy markets within the EU, it is unacceptable for one company to both own the electricity network and also be responsible for the transmission of electricity, thus holding a monopoly, as it can then block access to the market for new operators who, in many cases, are more competitive. This document therefore courageously identifies the need to increase the level of transparency and competition within the energy sector, while effectively protecting the consumer from the consequences of a closed and inflexible market."@en1
