"Ladies and gentlemen.
Europe must not sacrifice security to liberalisation of the energy market. At least not as long as third countries use energy as a foreign policy tool.
By buying up gas pipes in Moldova, Gazprom took advantage of the frozen conflict in Transnistria and cut off gas supplies and export channels.
In view of Moldova’s vulnerability, I have no doubt that establishing further partnerships between different market regions, Member States and third countries which meet our criteria will enhance our energy security.
Smaller Member States have to do even more to ensure their security. Estonia’s economy and military might have succumbed time and again to those of our neighbour, and are many times smaller than those of the conqueror Russia.
Both energy production and distribution are of strategic importance to Estonia. I believe that, in view of that situation, certain enterprises should not be unbundled and should remain in State ownership. Please believe us when we say that this is very important for us."@en1
