"Mr President, I am delighted at the prominence given to energy policy in the Commission's plans. I would nonetheless like to draw attention to the need to achieve a balance between environmental and strategic aims. It is very easy to impose new environmental taxes, and easy to demand better environmental standards for construction and industry, but this will not, however, resolve the problem of our energy security. Political measures aimed at energy solidarity in a crisis are required.
The principles of the common market should be urgently applied to energy proprietors who also control distribution. This is particularly important if the proprietors hail from third countries, such as Russia, where the principle of subsidiarity is not applied in the area of foreign investments.
Countries at risk of economic blackmail will be more inclined to bear the cost of environmental programmes if the latter go hand in hand with strategic solutions vital to Europe's energy security. I remain under the impression that we have failed to achieve a balance in this area."@en1
