"Madam President, fellow representatives, based on the experiences of recent years, we have good reason to describe January as the month of gas crises. At the beginning of 2009, the gas supply from Russia was interrupted for several weeks. Last year, it was doubtful whether Europe would receive Russian gas or not because of the Ukrainian-Russian disputes. The situation did not improve this year. In January the quantity of gas arriving from Russia decreased significantly from one day to the next in a Member State with a population of 9 million people. Fellow representatives, we are aware of the solution. It has repeatedly been noted in the House and elsewhere that we need new sources of gas. However, the construction of import pipelines seems to be taking too long. In the short term, therefore, we need to focus on the construction of pipelines connecting the Member States. The secure supply of gas to Central and Eastern Europe, which is most vulnerable, can only be ensured by connecting to the Member States of Western Europe, which already have alternative sources of supply. Such a solution is in the interests of the whole of the European Union."@en1
