"The basic aim of supporting the linking up of energy networks is enshrined in the Treaty of Lisbon. Progress has not been easy in the EU, and there are many sticking points between the States in the area of energy policy, with fragmented markets and many national interests standing in the way. Only through determination and by having an energy policy can all of the obstacles be overcome. Both of these elements form part of the ‘Energy 2020’ communication, which calls for a radical change in the current approach to highly important issues such as energy infrastructure and networks, which should be mobilised and supported under the banner of ‘Europe making effective use of its resources’. In my opinion, we need to focus on energy structures that are highly important from the perspective of fulfilling objectives the EU has been pursuing for decades: in other words, reducing carbon levels, ensuring security of supply and price stability for consumers and creating a single market in energy which will ensure access to energy resources for businesses and individuals at affordable prices. Solidarity between Member States is also important from this perspective, and we cannot talk about security without also mentioning solidarity within a European framework. It is time that Europe began to act in a unified way, setting itself common objectives in the short, medium and long terms in the area of energy policy, in the interests of European citizens and businesses."@en1
