of energy.

conditions for exploiting its energy resources, its choice between different energy sources and the
general structure of its energy supply, without prejudice to Article III-234(2)(c).
3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, a European law or framework law of the Council shall
establish the measures referred to therein when they are primarily of a fiscal nature. The Council shall
act unanimously after consulting the European Parliament.
