"Stable and secure energy supplies are crucial for competitiveness, growth, the sustainability of European companies and reducing the bills that citizens pay. Energy security also is of great significance for the EU’s strategic interests. The best way to ensure the reliability of energy supplies is via a functioning internal energy market and reduced external dependence, as the President of the Commission made clear in his State of the Union 2012 Address. The EU currently imports over 60% of its gas and over 80% of its oil. This tendency is increasing and is unsustainable. Accordingly, in addition to the need to reduce energy dependence, it is also crucial to diversify sources of energy supply. Intergovernmental agreements can therefore support the EU’s goal, extending the supply sources to the Black Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean region and Central Asia."@en1
