"Mr President, it is 10 years since a very senior representative of the Russian secret service said in public that Russia used Gazprom as a political tool. The past 10 years have proven him entirely right. What we are faced with today is a situation where Russia is using negotiations on gas prices to divide the European Union. Better-regarded countries which enjoy friendlier relations with Russia are rewarded with lower prices. If Russia wishes to exert pressure on certain countries, they are charged more for Russian gas. This means firstly that diversifying gas supplies is very important for the European Union’s citizens, but I also support the report’s proposal for the European Commission to automatically be involved in negotiations with third countries. In order to do so, we need European solidarity, so that those countries which are less powerful in the face of the mighty Russians can count on their stronger Western partners, or, in other words, the European Commission."@en1
