The continuation and timely conclusion of the legislative process on the 3d Energy Package

12.11.2008

ORAL QUESTION WITH DEBATE O-0120/08
pursuant to Rule 108 of the Rules of Procedure
by Hannes Swoboda, Reino Paasilinna, Eluned Morgan and Atanas Paparizov, on behalf of the PSE Group, Giles Chichester, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, Herbert Reul, Angelika Niebler, Gunnar Hökmark and Jerzy Buzek, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group
to the Council

On 18 June and 9 July 2008, the European Parliament adopted at first reading the legislative resolutions on the directives and regulations of the 3rd Energy Package. The package is of major importance for the creation of a European internal market in electricity and gas and for ensuring a transparent and clear regulatory framework for investments in transmission networks and enhancing regional and European cooperation. On that basis, the energy package is a major contribution to the EU Member States' security of energy supply.

 

Against this background, we would like to ask the French Presidency to inform us as to their intention to present to the EP the Council common position on the five legislative proposals. We would also appreciate detailed information on what steps the Council, and more particularly the Czech Presidency, envisages for the continuation and timely conclusion of the legislative process on the 3d Energy Package.
