Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. NoteRecalls that the expectation of future price surges can create incentives for producers and investors to invest in production capacity, particularly in high- efficiency modern gas-fired power stations, urges politicians not to intervene in the market even in the evmain obstacle to more dynamic pricing is not legal but technical, pending the deployment of smart meters; notes that, in this context, the continuation of regulated tariffs by means of proportionate and transparent measures does not exclude the dynamic elements of large price surges and calls, in the medium term, for the complete abolition of regulated final consumer pricespricing and does not prevent the competitive functioning of the market; observes that, furthermore, regulated tariffs remain a preponderant tool for fighting energy poverty;
Amendment 528 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Stresses that greater consideration must be given to distribution system operators’ (DSO) local and regional responsibility for the energy union; rejects, however, the unbundling of distribution systems beyond the scope of existing legislation, since the current rules have proved their usefulness and the consumer has a free choice of suppliers;
Amendment 534 #

Stresses that renewables shouldare in most cases be fed in at distribution systems level, and therefore calls for distribution system operators to have a greater role overall and to be more closely involved in the European regulatory bodies to elaborate high level guidelines on various common issues such as demand/response, flexibility, DSO/TSO interface or storage;
