"Question No 14 by Mihail Papayannakis ():
The Commissioner for Energy said recently that the energy issue in Europe was a national responsibility, not a Community one. At the outset of discussions for the Intergovernmental Conference (1996/1997) there was a suggestion that special provisions should be incorporated into the Treaty of Amsterdam which would pave the way for the drafting of a common energy policy. The suggestion was rejected by the 15 Member States, as was also the case for the Treaty of Maastricht. There are, naturally, measures concerning energy (the White Paper, the SAVE programme, EUR 1 billion from the Fifth Research Programme, alternative energy etc.). Despite all this, however, all the forecasts predict that the EU’s overall energy dependence (gas, oil, coal and uranium) will increase in the future. Given that developments in the oil markets make it necessary for the EU to adopt a more dynamic policy in the energy sector, how does the Council think it might achieve a reduction in the European economy’s dependence on oil? Have specific measures been taken (such as security of supplies and energy efficiency) to make the economies of the Member States less sensitive to external crises, and what are the Council’s methods and short-term and medium-term priorities for energy efficiency and energy saving?"@en1
