"Energy security and energy form the axis around which both the domestic and foreign policy of every union revolve and are a vital factor in maintaining prosperity and, where in critically short supply, a matter of survival.
We need to take immediate steps to free ourselves of our raw material dependence on Russia, which may subsequently become a political dependence. I find it alarming that we are allowing energy to be used as a means of exerting political pressure on countries of transit and destination. I support the development of the Black Sea dimension, cooperation with the countries of the Southern Caucasus, and stepping up our involvement with Norway, the Maghreb and Mashreq countries, and the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Energy market predictability must be ensured through agreements with China, India and Brazil and a partnership should be established with the US Government.
Black-and-white-thinking environmentalists should realise once and for all that burning ‘eco’ fuels and biomass massively increases the amount of CO
in the atmosphere and that a reasonable, decisive proportion of nuclear energy is necessary. The influence of the fanatical Greens, who have even managed to get a ban on nuclear energy included in the constitution of a Member State – something which will not certainly affect its economy and even that of its neighbours – is of tragicomic proportions."@en1
