"Given its huge importance for our everyday lives, energy should principally be a commodity and not used as a foreign policy tool. At the same time, however, it is important that the European Union takes into account all aspects concerning our security of supply. The EU is a major purchaser of energy on global markets. While this can be seen as a weakness, it can also be a strength: we are the biggest importer, if we use this fact in a coordinated manner in the position we adopt towards other countries. We should find a common approach and extend our sphere of influence beyond the borders of the EU, particularly in the field of energy market rules. There is also a need for a well-functioning internal market that can create more competition among our external partners, including regulatory convergence with our neighbours, which I fully support."@en1
