"A sustainable energy supply is essential for economic development. Energy is therefore one of the strategic areas requiring tactical negotiations focused on security of supply and sustainability. A proper energy mix, in which renewable sources of energy are beginning to break through, along with energy efficiency and other small-scale solutions, do not, however, form part of a comprehensive response to the issue of energy dependence of many Member States on energy supplies from outside the EU. In my opinion, the European Union should not only cultivate its relations with its traditional partners, such as with Russia, but should gradually establish a deeper strategic energy cooperation with the littoral states of the Black and Caspian Sea, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Central Asia. Naturally, we must also not neglect improvements to the functioning of the internal market in which, unfortunately, many obstacles to competition remain, thus undermining the attractiveness of the EU market in the eyes of non-EU suppliers and investors. I agree with the view that the EU and its Member States must ensure an internal energy market that can withstand external pressures and attempts to use the supply and price of energy as a tool of foreign policy pressure. For this reason, I am of the view that when planning the EU budget, resources should be increased in relation to projects interconnecting the energy markets in the EU and for improving European gas and electricity infrastructure networks."@en1
