"I voted in favour of this resolution, as the question of energy is an important test of European solidarity. The Member States have to work together on this matter.
Energy policy must be linked to foreign policy. The Commission also has to look at diversifying energy security in the various EU Member States. The battle against climate change means that energy which depends on coal may face dire financial straits. Price hikes will then affect the citizens. It is high time that we introduced a common, EU-wide policy in this field. The Commission must clearly state that it will combat the selfish attitudes of Member States which see no danger in a continued dependence on one supplier, such as a reliance on Russia for gas, for example.
We need action. The European Commission and the Commissioner for Energy need to express their political will clearly."@en1
