"Mr President, it is widely known that the Lahti Summit did not end with a breakthrough. Neither was any significant progress made in talks with Russia concerning cooperation on energy policy. What is even more regrettable is that, despite statements to the contrary, the European Union did not present itself as a single power that Russia would have to take very seriously. In this context, the stance adopted by certain countries, including Poland, should be commended. The same is true of the approach adopted by the President of the European Parliament, Mr Borrell, thanks to whom the voice of the new Member States – Russia’s neighbours – was heard at Lahti.
All this has also been interpreted as a call for unity on energy policy within the European Union. It is only by adopting a tough and determined stance towards Russia that we can hope for success in the negotiations on Europe’s energy security. Sadly, not all Member States have understood this yet."@en1
