"The EU’s energy security is a strategic and vital issue. Lacking natural resources, the Union relies heavily on its foreign partners for its supply. I therefore voted for this report, which underlines the need for extensive energy infrastructures that are interconnected with neighbouring networks. That is the goal of the future trans-European energy networks. I also believe that the EU must encourage and support cooperation with its partners on innovative projects, such as the Mediterranean Solar Plan and DESERTEC. Strengthening coordination with our partners, promoting a more diverse energy mix, in terms of both its composition and our suppliers, and ensuring energy sustainability are some of the ways in which we can guarantee a policy that meets the needs of European citizens and businesses. Our partnerships with third countries are crucial and I supported the creation of the Strategic Group for International Energy Cooperation. We must now develop an ambitious cooperation dimension, especially in order to ensure the environmental transition. If we want to ‘green’ our economy, but our energy depends on our partners, we need to convince them to develop clean, renewable energies. Those partnerships will thus benefit Europeans, third countries and our planet."@en1
