"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the most important item on the European Union agenda is still energy security and the common energy policy. However, the formulation and implementation of such a policy is a long-term project. Germany and Russia have entered into a bilateral agreement to lay a gas pipeline along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, a pipeline that is anything but safe from an ecological viewpoint, bearing in mind the debris from World War II on the sea bed which threatens the Baltic States with dreadful consequences. In the meantime, the EU is demanding that safe, modernised atomic energy reactors be closed. Scientists estimate that by the year 2010 there will be a shortage of 3.5 billion kilowatts of electrical energy in the Baltic region. Where will we get it, how much will we pay for it and will we feel safe? Has anyone calculated to what extent the shortage of electrical energy will affect EU competitiveness? I invite all Member States, after considering the changes in the energy market, to support Lithuania’s application of Article 37 of the Treaty of Accession to the EU in considering the possibility of extending the operational life of the Ignalina Atomic Energy Plant."@en1
