"I welcome the position that the European Parliament has adopted regarding the construction of a gas pipeline to connect Russia to Germany.
The European Union needs an integrated, common and coherent energy policy, as well as a long-term strategy to ensure the Member States’ energy independence.
The European Union should treat the environmental and geopolitical issues regarding energy security by means of a concerted effort of all Member States, and not by bilateral treaties concluded by some Member States with Russia. This is the only way in which the European Union could achieve a strong position in the negotiations with Russia, avoiding the energy resources being transformed into a political pressure factor and could transform the EU into an equal partner of Russia.
This way, we can also provide answers to the justified frustrations of Romanian citizens regarding the continuous price increases for gas and electricity, with important negative social-economic consequences for Romanians and their living standard.
At the same time, the solution of a European common energy policy could supplement the incapacity of the Bucharest right-wing governing people to promote Romania’s energy interests in the relationship with Russia."@en1
