"The availability of secure, sustainable and competitive energy is of great importance for the economy, industry and EU citizens, and is a key European political objective. It is noteworthy that the EU imports more than 60% of its gas and more than 80% of its oil, facing increasing competition for fossil fuel resources, including from emerging countries and energy producing countries. Moreover, the EU’s dependence on energy imports is likely to increase over the next decade as its own fossil fuel resources are depleted. Experience has shown that bilateral energy relations individually established between Member States and third country suppliers and transit countries may result in the further fragmentation of the internal market rather than strengthening diversified energy supply and competitiveness. As such, I believe a fully integrated European energy market functioning on the principle of solidarity and addressing the challenges of energy supply is vital. Only a consistent and coordinated approach by the Member States, the Commission and the Council will realise a strong external position as regards the EU’s energy objectives and ensure an improved negotiating position vis-à-vis third countries."@en1
