| Message | Like we have stated in our earlier bills, energy companies don't need special regulations as few basic regulations takes care that they won't abuse their market & competition position. Handing out free contraceptives isn't needed as they're cheap already and they just cause extra expenses for the government. However, we don't support article 3 but we feel that the first two articles outweight the third one. Overally we support this bill. |

| Message | A) We believe there is. B) Even if there isn't, there may be in the future - so we must prevent it. It's like taking a vitamin when you're young to prevent health problems when you're old. |
