"Energy security has recently become a fashionable and popular buzzword repeated in all institutions of the EU. It means not only access to the raw materials for producing energy, but also a functioning infrastructure for transmission and distribution. The Treaty of Lisbon has only recently indicated a need for building energy solidarity in Europe in this field. This should be exploited and long-term, strategic plans for infrastructure should be put in place. In particular, we need to increase the capacity of energy links between EU Member States and to build alternative, strategic routes. Interconnectors should form a key part of the energy puzzle. They allow free transfer of hydrocarbons between Member States. They are protected against the threat of energy blockades by exporting countries and they make energy price stability possible. That is why it is extremely important for the EU to provide financial support for the construction of this type of project. Investment in energy security is also a commitment to the development of new technologies. They make it possible to reduce intervention in the natural environment and enable better exploitation of conventional energy sources, such as coal. This is also why, in spite of a restrictive climate policy, the EU should actively promote carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, especially those in countries where coal forms a significant part of energy production."@en1
