Amendment 587 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23
Paragraph 23
23. Stresses the need for full implementation and enforcement of existing EU energy legislation and for a swift adoption of ambitious European network codes and guidelines, which must go hand in hand with strengthening the competences of especially the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), and to some extent the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) and the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSO-G);
Amendment 618 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24 a (new)
Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Notes that the legal framework surrounding the current electricity market is not fitted to an electricity sector where an increasing share of supply will come from technologies with low marginal costs; welcomes, therefore the Commission's ambition to adjust the electricity market accordingly;
Amendment 642 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24 b (new)
Paragraph 24 b (new)
24b. Notes, that increasing the physical infrastructure will have little effect, if capacity on interconnections are not made fully available; underlines therefore the necessity to end restrictions on cross- border trade of electricity;
Amendment 646 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25
Paragraph 25
25. Calls on the Member States and the Commission to concentrate their efforts on driving projects of common interest (PCIs) forward, with a view to achieving a pan- European ‘super grid' with the capacity to transmit power across EU countries from multiple sources and therefore capable of diverting energy from surplus to deficit areas, thereby allowing the market to instantly respond to interruptions of supply wherever they occur; underlines that efforts should be particularly focused on regions where energy production and consumption are expected to increase in coming years;
Amendment 684 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26 a (new)

Amendment 915 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 37
Paragraph 37
37. Stresses, however, that the EU must as a general principle employ a technology- neutral approach to decarbonising our energy systems, adopting strategies for using and promoting not only renewable energy sources but also other low-emission sources of energy; acknowledges, however, that certain technologies will still need technology specific support after 2020. Underlines, that such support measures should be reserved to technologies with a significant cost reduction potential within a reasonable time frame; calls on the Commission, in this respect, to revise its Energy and Environmental State Aid Guidelines in a way which will provide for an equitable treatment of energy production from different energy sources;
Amendment 971 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 39 a (new)
Paragraph 39 a (new)
