"This is another report from the Commission’s communication package on the Single Market Act, whose proposal follows on from Mr Monti’s report entitled ‘A new strategy for the Single Market’. It is another paean to free competition, although it glosses over its contents to disguise the dynamite contained in this gift sent to workers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and especially the people of countries with weaker economies. Let us look at some examples of the items included in the report, especially on energy: ‘points out the importance of a fully operational internal market for energy […]; stresses that the internal energy market should contribute to maintaining energy prices affordable for both consumers and businesses’. Moreover, one only has to look at what is happening in Portugal to realise that liberalisation has led to privatisation, high prices for companies and consumers, and profits of more than EUR 1 billion for the shareholders of EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A., and a similar amount for Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. and other companies in the sector. Something similar might be said of other sectors including postal services or telecommunications, not to mention the financial sector. We therefore voted against the report."@en1
