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, with Member States implementing national capacity- remuneration mechanisms without fully exploring the potential of cross-border solutions, thus interfering with and distorting market design, notably in their neighbouring Member States, and creating a risk of partitioning between national markets;

17. Stresses that harmonisation of renewable- and efficiency-related incentives and of auxiliary energy costs across all Member States – or at least greater compatibility in this regard – is essential for a well-functioning internal energy market, at both the wholesale and retail level, and for creating favourable conditions for the long-term development of the low-emission energy sector, and that the single market offers major opportunities particularly for renewables;
