Abstract
For the achievement of its common policies, the Commission enjoys a considerable discretionary power and the proportionality principle can be used as a flexible tool. This is even truer for the Energy Sector, where the creation of a "European internal energy market" is in the interest of the European Union as a whole. Nevertheless, there are some risks associated with a broad interpretation of the proportionality principle.
