In view of the widespread blackouts that hit a number of Member States, most notably Portugal and Spain, impacting the lives of millions of citizens, and given the importance of the power grid for the EU’s energy security, can the European Commission clarify:

• 1.What immediate response measures, including relating to cross-border coordination, can be considered not only to restore, but also to ensure the stability and resilience of the power grid?
• 2.Is it aware that these incidents have caused structural damage to the security of the energy supply network?
