The Rapporteur strongly believes that generalised regulated tariffs for commercial customers should disappear as they cause serious distortions in the market and can sometimes be used by vertically integrated companies to force newcomers out of the market.

privind perspectivele pieţei interne a gazelor şi energiei electrice
on the Prospects for the internal gas and electricity market
A. întrucât noua politică europeană în domeniul energiei pentru o energie durabilă, sigură şi competitivă trebuie să fie ambiţioasă şi să vizeze beneficii pe termen lung, concentrându-se în principal pe combaterea schimbărilor climatice, limitarea vulnerabilităţii externe a UE faţă de importuri şi promovarea creşterii şi a ocupării forţei de muncă;
A. Whereas the new European energy policy for sustainable, secure and competitive energy needs to be ambitious and aimed at long-term benefits, with the main focus on combating climate change, limiting the EU's external vulnerability to imports, and promoting growth and jobs;
B. întrucât trebuie stabilit în timp util un cadru legislativ adecvat în conformitate cu principiul subsidiarităţii pentru a realiza aceste beneficii ambiţioase şi de termen lung;
B. Whereas an adequate legislative framework in accordance with the principle of sudsidiarity has to be established in a timely manner in order to achieve these ambitious and long-term benefits;
C. întrucât Comunicarea Comisiei privind perspectivele pentru piaţa internă a gazelor şi a energiei electrice ( COM(2006)0841 ) şi raportul DG Concurenţă privind ancheta sectorială din domeniul energiei ( SEC(2006)1724 ) concluzionează că normele actuale şi măsurile de liberalizare au condus la îmbunătăţiri ale eficienţei aprovizionării cu energie şi au generat economii pentru consumatori, dar că pieţele nu au fost încă deschise în totalitate şi că încă mai sunt obstacole în calea concurenţei libere; întrucât, în plus, cadrul legislativ actual nu a fost încă integral şi în mod corespunzător transpus de statele membre în legislaţia naţională şi, prin urmare, sunt necesare măsuri noi pentru a realiza liberalizarea pieţei;
C. Whereas the Commission communication on the prospects for the internal gas and electricity market ( COM(2006)0841 ) and the DG Competition report on the Energy Sector Inquiry ( SEC(2006)1724 ) conclude that the present rules and liberalisation measures have led to efficiency improvements in energy supply and delivered savings to customers, but that markets have not yet been opened fully and barriers to free competition still remain; whereas, moreover, the existing legislative framework has not yet been fully and duly transposed by the Member States into national law and further steps are therefore necessary in order to achieve market liberalisation;
D. întrucât puţine state membre şi-au deschis pieţele gazului; întrucât o reducere a preţurilor şi un serviciu de calitate în materie de aprovizionare pe piaţa gazelor constituie elemente cheie pentru întregul sistem, atât pentru consumatori, cât şi pentru întreprinderi;
D. Whereas few Member States have opened their gas markets; whereas lower prices and a quality service in the supply in the gas market are key for the whole system, both for consumers and enterprises;
E. întrucât, în Rezoluţia sa din 14 decembrie 2006 privind o strategie europeană pentru o energie durabilă, sigură şi competitivă - Carte Verde
E. Whereas in its resolution of 14 December 2006 on a European strategy for sustainable, competitive and secure energy - Green Paper
Texte adoptate , P6_TA(2006)0603 . , Parlamentul European a subliniat faptul că reţelele de transport din sectorul energetic ar trebui să facă obiectul unei descentralizări complete a proprietăţii imediat ce Comisia va concluziona că legislaţia existentă este ineficace;
Texts Adopted , P6_TA(2006)0603 . , Parliament stressed that transmission systems in the energy sector should undergo full ownership unbundling as soon as the Commission has concluded that existing legislation is ineffective;
F. întrucât, în urma anchetei sectoriale şi în lumina dovezilor economice disponibile, Comisia consideră că descentralizarea proprietăţii este mijlocul cel mai eficient pentru a asigura utilizatorilor de energie dreptul de a alege şi pentru a încuraja investiţiile;
F. Whereas following the sector inquiry and in light of the economic evidence, the Commission considers that ownership unbundling is the most effective means to ensuring choice for energy users and to encourage investment;
G. întrucât lacunele actuale în materie de reglementare transfrontalieră nu pot fi remediate doar prin aplicarea normelor de concurenţă; întrucât ar trebui asigurată o coordonare consolidată între autorităţile naţionale de reglementare în domeniul energiei prin sporirea competenţelor Grupul autorităţilor europene de reglementare în domeniul energiei electrice şi al gazelor (ERGEG) asociată cu un rol mai puternic de supraveghere de către Comunitate în vederea aplicării principiilor pieţei interne;
G. Whereas the current regulatory cross-border gap cannot be remedied by the application of competition rules alone; whereas reinforced coordination between national energy regulators, by enhancing the competences of the European Regulators' Group for electricity and gas (ERGEG), with a stronger role for Community oversight to enforce internal market principles, should be ensured;
H. întrucât datele disponibile sugerează că statele membre au apelat doar într-o măsură limitată la obligaţiile de serviciu public vizate pentru satisfacerea necesităţilor consumatorilor vulnerabili,
H. Whereas the available data suggest that Member States have made only limited use of targeted public service obligations to address vulnerable customers;
