Rule 117
Zbigniew Ziobro (EFD)

Decision No 1364/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 laid down guidelines for trans-European energy networks (TEN-E). The purpose of these guidelines was to ensure the interoperability and development of trans-European electricity and gas networks and to improve the security of hydrocarbon supply, thereby strengthening the energy independence of the European Union.

Can the Commission please supply information about the projects which have been undertaken and the costs involved, with a breakdown by Member State.

How does the Commission evaluate the effectiveness of these measures?

Does the Commission intend to extend the TEN-E programme?
