1. To avoid that actions for damages by claimants from different levels in the supply chain lead to a multiple liability or to an absence of liability of the infringer, Member States shall ensure that in assessing whether the burden of proof resulting from the application of Articles 13 and 14 is satisfied, national courts seized of an action for damages are able, by means available under Union and national law, to take due account of:

9. Underlines that the use of renewable energy technologies should be optimised based on availability of renewable resources in the region; points out that increased renewable energy production will pose challenges to the serviceability of the existing energy infrastructure as the sources are often remotely located and therefore require major development work on transmission and distribution lines; considers that in order to further integrate renewable energy sources, infrastructure adjustments will be needed in the EU, both at transport and distribution level and that national legislation has to ensure the simplification and accelerat ...[+++]ion of planning procedures as they often require the interaction of various planning levels; points to the importance of both public and private funding where energy infrastructure investment is concerned; urges the need for progress in the development and expansion of an EU internal energy market; highlights the potential of Structural Funds to modernise the current energy infrastructure and service a well-connected European infrastructure in order to integrate renewable energies in the European energy market; highlights also the importance of creation of smart power grids; maintains, however that the amount of ERDF funding in the current financing period for new energy capacities is rather low; believes that, for example, ELENA assistance should support large-scale, but also decentralised, renewable energy investment projects to more useful effect and that the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme could be used to foster further development of renewable energy and furthermore foster joint renewable projects between small communities, including rural areas;

In the European Commission's Methodological Note for the horizontal evaluation of SGEIs (4) the planned indicator is based on ‘price of services relative to the income of low/average-income consumers (reported for consumers with different income levels)’.

Where injured parties from different levels of the supply chain bring separate actions for damages that are related to the same competition law infringement, national courts should take due account, as far as allowed under applicable national or EU law, of parallel or preceding actions (or judgments resulting from such actions) in order to avoid under- and over-compensation of the harm caused by that infringement and to foster consistency between judgments resulting from such linked proceedings.

Member States, the regions and the local authorities may therefore need to reflect on the co-ordination and the distribution of competencies necessary to address the major urban environmental issues, in particular between neighbouring authorities and between different levels.

The Commission might also contact the relevant professional associations, and companies active in upstream markets, so as to be able to define, in so far as necessary, separate product and geographic markets, for different levels of production or distribution of the products/services in question.
