"The impulse provided by the Nord Stream debate represents a good start for Europe to finally speak with one voice on energy security issues and to focus on an effective common energy policy.
Energy security is a vital element in the context of overall EU security and should therefore be treated with utmost care especially in the face of a growing dependency on energy imports, expected to reach 65% by 2030. Dependency on gas alone is expected to rise to 84% of supply by 2030. Attention should be given to the EU’s distinctive relationship with Russia: emphasis should be placed on the creation and observance of equal access conditions and fair treatment of both Russian investors in the EU as well as EU investors in Russia. Alas, the latter case is not yet maintained and should therefore be strived for.
Moreover, I wish to acknowledge the importance of Russia’s possible ratification of the Energy Charter Treaty and the Transit Protocol in the avoidance of potential Nord-Stream-project-related disagreements.
I would like again to bring into discussion the potentially disastrous environmental consequences that the Nord Stream project poses, given its scale and proposed route, and to present my support for an alternative inland route."@en1
