"I should like, Commissioner, to speak about the issue of energy and energy policies, which do not seem to me to have been dealt with in sufficient depth in your text. In fact, within the resolution on oil dependency adopted by the European Parliament during its last part-session, the need for a sustainable energy policy was emphasised as part of the EU’s policy of promoting development. There we have a particularly significant example of coherence that needs to be implemented.
As you are aware, there are signs of a serious oil crisis hitting the European Union and the North in general and, at the same time, we can see that oil resources, which are so plentiful in Africa, have not benefited – to say the least - the development of the local communities. I would cite the example of Nigeria, which has the largest population and which, although one of the wealthiest African countries in terms of its resources, has not seen the development that it requires. Thus, the tensions will increase, and we require new legislative and financial instruments and a powerful EU strategy for us to succeed in managing oil in a fair and sustainable way. I should like to hear your proposals on this matter."@en1
