On a general level the rapporteur, Mr ADAM (PSE, UK), welcomed the fact that Parliament and the Council had finally arrived at a definite conclusion: the updating, by integration or reduction, of the list of projects in the Annex would still be subject to codecision with Parliament. Mr Adam then thanked the Finnish Members for their understanding, as the natural gas network for Northern Europe had still not been one of the priority projects adopted; however, the Council was committed to examining the project at the decisive stage. Commissioner Bonino, standing in for Mr Papoutsis, pointed out that during the period of nearly two years that had elapsed since the Commission had put forward its proposal the latter had not been standing idle but had in fact been able to present new projects, including that mentioned in the debate on natural gas networks for the countries of Northern Europe.
Following the agreement on a joint text that was reached by the Conciliation Committee on 27 March 1996, the Council adopted the Decision laying down a series of guidelines for trans-European energy networks. As this had been achieved through the codecision procedure, the European Parliament for its part was still to confirm the joint text; the decision would then be definitively adopted.
The Council noted the progress of the work, under the codecision procedure with the European Parliament, on the proposal for a decision laying down a series of guidelines on trans-European energy networks. On 20 November 1995, the Council had noted that it was unable to accept all the amendments proposed by the European Parliament. Contacts have since taken place between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission with a view to preparing for the Conciliation Committee meeting.
The Council noted that it was unable to accept all of Parliament’s amendments to the proposal for a decision laying down a series of guidelines on trans-European energy networks and decided to convene the Conciliation Committee on this matter in accordance with Article 189b of the Treaty.
Commissioner PAPOUTSIS stated that the Commission could take over Amendments Nos 1 and 4: the first because it introduced a recital to clarify the criteria for the selection of projects and their implementation at the highest possible level; the second because it clarified the route of the ‘Baltic ring’, which was a joint project in the electricity sector. However, the Commission rejected the following amendments: Amendment No 2 because as far as the committee procedure was concerned, there was already an interinstitutional ‘modus vivendi’, which strengthened Parliament’s position in terms of information and consultation in relation to the Commission; the latter preferred the management committee to the advisory committee; Amendments Nos 3 and 6 on Parliament’s participation, according to the codecision procedure in ex-Article 129d of the Treaty on European Union, in the revision of the list of priority projects as the procedure in question would be incompatible with the flexibility required to update the list. Finally, Amendment No 5 on the trans-Scandinavian and Baltic natural gas project should be removed given that the two Member States concerned - Sweden and Finland - would not be ready to get involved the project before its revision in 1996.
The rapporteur stated that he broadly accepted the Commission proposal, which laid down new guidelines for the development of trans-European energy networks, in accordance with the Maastricht Treaty and the White Paper on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment. The measures, including those under procedure SYN940010, designed to cover the period from 1995 to 1999, related to around 70 projects on the transport of electricity and natural gas, costing a total of approximately ECU 105 million. Connecting the network with countries outside the Union would improve the political understanding and cooperation with Norway, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Mediterranean countries. The proposed amendments sought to give priority to the energy networks that promoted economic and social cohesion and called for Parliament to be consulted on any changes to the priority projects adopted by the Commission. The rapporteur also proposed that the Commission should be assisted by an advisory committee. The Commissioner responsible for energy, Mr PAPOUTSIS, indicated that the Commission could take over most of the 24 amendments of the Committee on Energy: Amendments Nos 1, 3, 5, 6 and 10 in full; and the substance of Amendments Nos 4, 7 to 9, 11 and 13, subject to a slight change to the wording (to include, for example, the countries that would sign the European Energy Charter). Amendments Nos 12 and 14 to 16 could not be taken over as they related to projects that were not yet developed. Mr PAPOUTSIS confirmed that the Commission would keep Parliament informed of the implementation of the projects and that it did not agree with the Council, which was in favour of establishing a regulatory committee.
