Paragraph 3
3. Commends the setting up of an information exchange mechanism on energy agreements between Member States and third countries to raise the transparency of energy imports into the EU. Many agreements in the energy field have investment components. This is the reason that the EU Commission ensures that there is a coherence between energy agreements and investment agreements. In particular, the rights and recommendations of the European Parliament will be taken into account in future investment policy. The EU Commission plays an active, promoting role when coordinating intergovernmental agreements, so as to ensure that all established entitlements can be realised. Before signing an agreement, the Member States shall submit the said negotiated intergovernmental agreements for approval by the EU Commission, which shall ensure that such agreements are compatible with Union law and, in particular, with the trade and investment rules and the internal energy market, as well as the long-term energy and climate policy targets of the Union;
