Moreover, policy options other than those of the Green Paper are absent from the responses presented in the questionnaire. A major example is that, at no point, does the questionnaire offer energy demand reduction as a strategic policy option. (....?)
My suggestion:
Moreover, policy options other than those of the Green Paper are absent from the responses presented in the questionnaire. A major example is that, at no point, does the questionnaire offer a return to centralised forms of control of the sector, whether on a national or a pan-European basis. That may not be the Commission's preference, but a neutral questionnaire should acknowledge that the option exists and allow people to express their preference for it. Similarly, at no point does the questionnaire allow respondents to express a preference for demand reduction mechanisms (whether directed through taxes or quotas, or incited via education or "good practice").

...A major example is that, at no point, does the questionnaire offer a return to centralised forms of control of the sector, whether on a regional, national or a pan-European basis. Or, alternatively, the option of a decentralised sector with serious limitations and selection among the players. These may not be the Commission's preference, but a neutral questionnaire should acknowledge that these options exist and allow people to express their preference for such alternatives.
