The agreement on the first reform of the European electricity market in more than 20 years is within reach, assured the third vice president of the Government, Teresa Ribera, in an interview with the vanguard held on Monday shortly after the European Energy Ministers were ready. to establish its negotiating position for the talks with the European Parliament. Although the Spanish Government initially criticized the lack of ambition of the European Commission, Ribera considers that the text has improved and represents a "deep reform" that "will give peace of mind and stability to investors and anticipate the benefits of renewable energies for consumers." . , although some issues still need to be resolved to avoid distortions, he says regarding the demands of France on nuclear energy or Germany on support for the industry.

The final stretch of the negotiation will be the task of Spain, which on July 1 assumes the rotating presidency of the EU Council, although today it is impossible to know if it will be its Government or an alliance of the PP with Vox that Russia Mobile Number List will take the reins, a perspective which according to Ribera "concerns" many European partners. Spain, he says, is the last "containment barrier" against the entry of the extreme right into European governments; If it falls, European balances "would be profoundly altered." The negotiation has once again exposed the divergences between Germany and France on their energy model. How does this affect European decisions? I don't like that anyone thinks that European regulations are to solve the problems of two large countries.



European interest has to be above that. It is not worth solving the problem of France and Germany, and generating distortion in the rest. It is very important to cover the general interest of the Twenty-seven. And perhaps this is where it was most noticeable that the text presented by the Swedish presidency was not yet mature, we could not categorically say that it offered a coherent image of the different aspects of the EU's economic, industrial or innovation policy, while it did include solutions to the problems of some states.
