Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Notes with concern indications that certain national action is again being taken to influence energy markets, especially as regards efforts to secure the supply of electricity, withthat, despite awareness of the potential of cross-border solutions, some Member States are implementing national capacity- remuneration mechanisms without fully exploring the potential of cross-border solutions, thus interfering with and distorting market designin an effort to secure the supply of electricity; takes the view that such mechanisms should be technology-neutral, budget- neutral and competitively neutral;

Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Recognises that, without prejudice either to the Member States’ right to choose their energy mix or to the need for better EU-wide coordination, the EU as a whole mustresults from the wide range of energy sources at their disposal and the technology and investment choices that have been makde full use of the potential of all energy sources that are at the disposal of EU Member Statesso far; takes the view that in exploiting this varied potential there is a need for better EU-wide coordination that conforms to ambitious environmental and climate criteria;

Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Recognises the missed opportunities – created throughat joint EU research projects supported by Framework Programmes and initiatives such as the SET Plan –have often been insufficiently used with a view to developing new technologies allowing for improvements in efficiency, renewables, the security of nuclear power plants, the low-emission usage of fossil fuels, and intelligent networks, all of which are critical for the energy market;
Amendment 298 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Asks the Commission to monitor closely the effective implementation of EU energy legislation, in particular the provisions that create essential consumer rights, as well as those that concern system operators, national regulating authorities and competition rules, and those that aim to reduce the phenomenon of loop flows (particularly by greater harmonisation in the deployment pace of renewable energy sources), the latter constituting a significant challenge to the internal energy market as it weakens the security of the energy system; urges the Commission to use the most appropriate means at its disposal to address any continued non- compliance with relevant EU legislation;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 31
Paragraph 31
31. Calls on the Commission to encourage further cooperation between the energy and information and communications technology (ICT) sectors, and to review existing instruments for financing energy- related innovations, in order to benefit all the consumers and to facilitate the deployment of smart grids in a user- friendly way which will not place a financial burden on them;

Paragraph 33
33.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35
Paragraph 35
35. Calls on the Commission to examine thoroughly the implications of integrating low-emission energy sources, especially renewables, into the energy grids with regard to financial support, system-wide technical requirements and market design; underlines that the lack of coordinated approach towards those sources has until now preventhampered their harmonious integration within the European energy systems;
