Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Believes that smart technologies must not be restricted to automatic meter- reading only but must be completed with dynamic, online grid management incorporating such services as grid support services, voluntary demand-side response and local or home brokers; points out, however that the levels of energy consumption required for smart meters to provide economic advantages must be duly scrutinised and below those levels no obligatory investments in smart meters shall be imposed on consumers; is of the opinion, also, that taking into account existing differences between national grids any goals for smart meters are better placed at national level rather than the EU level;
Amendment 103 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Considers that vulnerable consumers must be protected and that, to that end, effective mechanisms must be put in place, while distortions of the energy market are avoided; points out, in this context, that one-size-fits-all approach that does not take into account the situation of some Member States may lead to a massive increase in energy poverty, which in some Member States is understood as a situation in which over 10 % of household budgets is spent on energy;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 c (new)
Paragraph 7 c (new)
7c. Believes that the pricing mechanism of gas based on oil-indexation is obsolete and leads to market distortions since the price of gas usually does not correspond to the demand for gas; in this regard calls on both EU and national legislatures and regulatory bodies to support the transition of the gas pricing mechanism from the oil-indexation to more flexible alternatives like hub-based price mechanism while respecting the freedom of commercial exchange;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Stresses that modernising the existing infrastructure, and building new, intelligent and flexible generation, transmission, distribution and storage infrastructure, is essential for a well-integrated and well- connected energy market, where the stability of transmission systems is ensured even across borders to avoid any negative effects such as unplanned power flows, where supply at affordable prices is secured, where the potential for cogeneration and efficiency, and for exploiting renewable and unconventional energy sources, is fully exploited, and where no Member State remains isolated from the European gas and electricity networks;
