"Energy security is one of the most important aspects of the European Union’s economy. At present, EU countries import about 80% of their oil and 60% of their natural gas requirements. This situation demonstrates the enormous degree to which the European Union is dependent on its suppliers from outside Europe. Unfortunately, ‘green energy’, which is becoming ever more popular, has not so far contributed to any decrease in the dependence of EU Member States on outside suppliers.
In my opinion, joint action by all EU Member States is essential in order to make the European Union as independent as possible in this respect, in the shortest possible time. For this reason, all EU political parties should support any initiative that concerns the Union’s energy security. I believe that there are two projects in particular that should receive our support. The first is the Nabucco pipeline and the second is the somewhat overlooked Sarmatia pipeline. Stable financing plus, as I said earlier, political support for these investments would certainly help to diversify European Union energy supplies and would also ensure cheap energy for the Union for many years."@en1
