"The report on ‘Engaging in energy policy cooperation with partners beyond our borders: a strategic approach to secure, sustainable and competitive energy supply’ should definitely be supported. Its main objective is to improve coordination among Member States in energy policy relations with third countries, facilitating in this field the application of the common EU principles – market liberalisation, diversification of energy supply, and a single EU energy market. These goals are particularly important to the Baltic States, which, in terms of energy infrastructure, are still an isolated island, separated from the rest of the EU. The report pays great attention to the special situation of the Baltic States, particularly underlining their excessive dependence on Russian gas supplies, which account for almost 100% of the gas consumed in the Baltic States. Also important is the reference in the report to the need for each region to always have access to at least two different sources of energy supply. This principle is stated in the European Commission communication on Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond. The utmost support should also be given to the call included in the report for the EU and Member States to ensure a connected internal energy market that can withstand external pressures and attempts to use energy supply and prices as a tool of foreign policy pressure. That is why emphasis is placed on the need to increase financing for projects interlinking energy markets in the EU and to complete the European gas and electricity infrastructure networks by the end of 2015, in particular, the Baltic interconnection plan."@en1
