lpv:translated text	"Europe is a major purchaser of energy on global energy markets. In addition, there is a realistic assumption that global energy demand will increase by 40% by 2030, mainly in non-OECD countries. The EU’s dependence on energy imports will rise significantly over the next decade, mainly due to the depletion of fossil fuel resources. This will happen despite increasing input from renewables, energy efficiency and research into energy technologies. Global competition for fossil fuel resources from emerging economies will therefore logically intensify. I therefore believe that when defining European energy policy, it is important to focus on the pursuit of a common approach and extend our sphere of influence beyond Europe, particularly in the field of energy market rules. There is a clear need for a well-functioning internal market, and we should be promoting convergence with our neighbours, especially in the field of regulation. I firmly believe that the EU’s high and increasing import dependency calls for a policy that fully reflects this current development. This policy must be based on solidarity, strategic cooperation and on the promotion of indigenous renewable energy sources."@en1
