lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the power of Brussels is, fortunately, restricted through subsidiarity and the Treaty. Subsidiarity means that Brussels is unable to interfere with matters on which Member States can themselves regulate. The Swedish Parliament has officially protested against this directive but Brussels is, as ever, ignoring the interests and sovereignty of the Member States. Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU explicitly sets limits on the EU’s powers in the field of energy. This article states that Brussels is not allowed to interfere with the operation, choice or structure of energy supply in a Member State, whether it is efficient or not. The current proposal on the efficient use of resources is therefore not only contrary to the principle of subsidiarity, it does not even have a legal basis. Why are we voting on this? What Brussels is actually concerned with is the organisation of the European Union itself. And there we can definitely achieve efficiency gains. We have huge numbers of officials, we are getting one new agency after another. We have an incredibly costly and an utterly failed euro policy and all those things are not necessary. Anyway, we could use our energy more efficiently from now on by talking about the things that we actually have control over. If not, we might as well abolish this Parliament."@en1
