".
I voted for the resolution on the state of implementation of the EU Strategy for Central Asia because this region is of paramount importance to the EU in terms of its commercial potential and energy security, and it has been affected by the recent global financial and economic crisis. I should stress the importance of energy in the relations with the countries in Central Asia, given that it is a major source of revenue for these states, as well as being a potential source of energy security for the EU.
The EU and the countries of Central Asia share a common interest in diversifying export routes and cooperating on energy and environmental sustainability. I should emphasise that energy shortages (for example, for heating and electricity) exacerbate the situation of poor people in the countries of Central Asia, and the EU, in keeping with its climate change commitments, should step up its assistance in this region, with a view to devising a sustainable energy policy, also based on energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy. I think that the review of the EU Strategy for Central Asia must take into account the need to support its objectives with adequate financial resources and define suitable distribution models reflecting the actual situation in each country in the region."@en1
