lpv:translated text	"The events of the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ have further highlighted the energy dependency from which the European Union currently suffers and the insecurity recently afflicting some of its suppliers. It is clear today that this excessive dependency constitutes a significant strategic weakness and that without a consistent, joint response by the Member States to the challenges they face, they will most likely remain restricted and further subject to external pressures. Some Member States’ excessive dependency on a restricted group of suppliers increases their exposure and weakness. The increased diversification of internal and external energy sources and the composition of national and European ‘energy mixes’ which group together energy from a large number of sources to allow for competition, should be encouraged. Such is the importance of the energy issue, which should increasingly be viewed as one of Europe’s greatest priorities. As such, effectively pursuing a common policy in this area should be encouraged."@en1
