"Not content with gaining control over Member States’ national budgets and employment policies, the Commission now wants to control all of the energy agreements that Member States enter into with third countries. This restriction of Member States’ sovereignty has but one goal: to impose by force the dogma of free and unfettered competition. From now on, not a single agreement can be signed without the Commission’s approval. What is more, the Commission will now be able, if it so desires, to invite itself to sit in on negotiations so that no secret clauses are hidden from it. The drift towards authoritarianism has reached its climax. By only eliminating the sole obligation of Member States to tell the Commission that negotiations are taking place, this report violates the demand for respect for the sovereignty of the elected representatives of the people, which is rightly theirs. Conversely, the report makes companies exempt from any such control. For them, the State is bad and the private sector is good. It is ideological blindness. I voted against."@en1
