"Guaranteeing energy security for the EU Member States is one of the most important challenges facing the EU. For many years we have been debating the prospects for solving this problem. Meanwhile, the main objective, namely independence from Russian exports, has still not been achieved. In order to change this state of affairs, the EU needs considerable investment in energy infrastructure. The construction of new transmission networks is essential. Our priority must be the construction of the Nabucco pipeline and the North-South pipeline. Implementing these ventures will gain us independence from Russian blockades and energy blackmail. At the same time, it will contribute to a lowering in gas prices and will strengthen competition in national economies. The construction of these routes will also be an expression of European solidarity in the field of energy, which is very necessary in the recent difficult period the EU has been experiencing. Another immensely important aspect contributing to the independence of Europe in the energy field is the creation of the so-called Polish section of the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline. Its construction would allow the transfer of Caucasian oil to Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, there would be an increase in competition and a reduction in price. This investment is also included in the objectives of the Eastern Partnership in the field of common energy initiatives. Also, the report as a whole does not pay sufficient attention to financial support for the construction of further hydrocarbon storage. Construction is essential to extend the safety period to a minimum of 120 days."@en1
