"Mr President, the foundation of the Energy Community in 2006 established an integrated European Energy market for gas and electricity, and the planned inclusion of Ukraine is intended to secure the energy supply towards Eastern Europe. This is a good thing, as there have certainly been a few serious problems in recent years and the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine, in particular, had a serious effect on the gas supplies of EU Member States. Subsequently, it was, of course, clear that Russia stopped the gas supplies during the price discussions and my home country of Austria, alone, experienced a fall of 33% in supplies of Russian gas, while France, Hungary and Italy also recorded drops of 20 to 40%. This calls for the Commission – as coordinator of the Energy Community – to grab Ukraine by the arm and remind it of its obligations when it comes to Europe’s security of supply. The energy supply of our Member States cannot simply be allowed to become a pawn in the price war between Russia and Ukraine. Let us have good discussions, then, but let us also play hard ball and let us, I beg, secure the energy supplies of our Member States."@en1
