". Oil is the most important source of energy in the European Union and the economy is very dependent on its constant, reliable and accessible supply. Given our great and ever increasing dependency on the importation of oil, security of oil supply is especially important. Oil demand within the EU will continue to increase until 2030, although only at a rate of 0.25% per year. In 2030 oil will still be the main primary source of energy in the EU and will constitute approximately 35% of all energy consumed. Given that oil supply and processing capacities cannot currently satisfy the growing demand, the situation in the market will remain tense. These factors must be taken into consideration when developing a united and real European energy policy. Part of this policy must be the EU’s ability to react to any possible sudden supply crisis. Reserves are an important factor, softening the blows of unexpected supply problems, as without oil some, or even all, sectors of the economy would grind to a halt. In this respect the possession of reserves is a matter of basic national security."@en1
