"Mr President, over the past decade, energy has become an instrument of foreign policy. This applies in particular to Russia, since the Kremlin’s foreign policy involves subjecting a number of fuel importers, such as my country, Poland, to political blackmail. Russian negotiations on supplies usually centre on issues which have nothing to do with economic and trade relations in the strict sense of the term. It is wrong for Member States with stronger economic positions to be granted significantly more favourable terms in otherwise identical contracts, since it is proof of discrimination against the others.
The solution that has been proposed is for the EU Member States to adopt a jointly coordinated negotiating position, which will allow all of us to be recognised as strong players on the global energy market. We should be speaking with one voice, especially when it comes to relations with Moscow, since this will significantly improve the position of countries such as Poland, which are dependent on Russian supplies. The diversification of energy supplies is in the interests of my country and the EU as a whole. I therefore support all measures in this area, and would like to ask the House to support investments in the Świnoujście gas terminal."@en1
