<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Since the German Federal Government took seven old nuclear power plants with a capacity of 7000 megawatts off-line, as a result of the Fukushima disaster, Germany has gone from being a net power exporter to being an importer. Since 17March2011, the load flow balance of Germany's power exchanges with neighbouring countries has been import-dominated. Nuclear-generated electricity, in particular, is being imported from France and the Czech Republic.  How does the Commission view this development?  Is there not a risk of bottlenecks on the European electricity market over the next few months?  What impact will German electricity imports have on prices?  Is there not a danger that prices for electricity will rise throughout Europe as a result of Germany's higher demand plus increased use of renewable energies, for which feed-in tariffs are subsidised?"
