"Europe is the largest purchaser of energy on global energy markets. This position is, to some extent, a very great handicap. The reason is the constant creation of energy dependence on third countries. It is precisely because of low self-sufficiency that the relationships with our partners – energy suppliers – are very important. Member States are the largest importers, and if we use this fact in a common and coordinated manner at EU level and adopt a firm negotiating position with third countries, we will almost always be in a good bargaining position as a strong market player on the demand side. Thus, ensuring reliable and cost-competitive access to global energy supplies is fundamental to supporting Europe’s competitiveness and security in light of the EU’s policy objectives set out in the 20-20-20 package. This is also necessary in order to achieve our environmental objectives, such as the fulfilment of the commitment to the decarbonisation of the economy by 2050."@en1
