Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Believes that the EU should respond symmetrically to the energy policy of third countries, particularly import partners, by giving foreign policy backing and diplomatic support to its own energy policy;
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Believes that the European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, fulfilling her mandate and the commitments undertaken at the hearings in Parliament, should give strong support to the EU’s energy policy, including specific projects and investments aimed at enhancing energy security;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6b. Believes that the EU should stick to the letter of the law and enforce compliance therewith in the spirit of energy solidarity and respect for competition and common market rules, and not give in to the vested interests of individual European countries, especially not exporters of gas to the European market;
Amendment 183 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a. Believes that in order to avoid considerable negative socioeconomic consequences in the EU regions where coal mining continues to be a major source of employment, the EU should maintain the possibility for Member States to subsidise coal mining until 2021; any restriction in this respect, particularly from 2014 on, would inevitably cause poverty and unemployment and have other negative social consequences;
Amendment 184 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 b (new)
Paragraph 18 b (new)
18b. Stresses that the EU should lay greater emphasis on the search for and extraction of gas from its own sources, particularly in view of the technology for extracting unconventional and tight gas;
Amendment 347 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 40 a (new)
Paragraph 40 a (new)
40a. Considers that as a matter of priority the EU must introduce a policy to diversify gas supplies and sources, stressing the need for alternative sources and gas import routes, aimed in particular at countries whose energy security is threatened by an import monopoly;
Amendment 348 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 40 b (new)
Paragraph 40 b (new)
40b. Considers that, in order to enhance the effectiveness of anti-crisis measures, a 'reverse flow' mechanism should be introduced for main gas routes;
Amendment 349 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 40 c (new)
Paragraph 40 c (new)
40c. Considers that the strategy to restrict hard coal consumption in EU Member States should not be allowed to strengthen the gas import monopoly; restricting hard coal consumption in the energy sector must be conditional on effective diversification of gas supplies in the Member States so as to avoid reinforcing the raw materials monopoly;
Amendment 423 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 51 a (new)
Paragraph 51 a (new)
51a. Considers that the main threat to consumer rights in the EU is the lack of competition in many sectors of the energy market; the key to strengthening competition in this market is to diversify transport routes, fossil energy sources and gas and oil market operators, particularly in countries which, for geographical or political reasons, are subject to a monopoly on raw material imports;
