lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are all used to making choices. We make choices when we buy soap or televisions, and when we select which mobile-telephone operator to use. As consumers, our ability to make these choices gives us the lowest prices possible, because that is competition. However, there is one field in which we in Europe are very often deprived of this competition, these choices. That is energy – electricity and gas. Why do many consumers not have the ability to make these choices? The reason is that in Europe, we lack the infrastructure and the interconnections to allow for the existence of such a market in which consumers can make a choice. With this report the European Parliament clearly declares that European residents and consumers must be able to exercise a choice not only between soaps, but also of energy in the electricity and gas market. By creating this infrastructure, we shall give consumers choices and the lowest prices possible. Thank you for your attention."@en1
