A Sunny Spring European Council 2007
Common energy policy or bilateral relationships with Russia?
After the Spring European Council one thing is certain: the EU must speak with “one voice” toward Moscow, plan energy-related decisions more purposefully, and pursue important pipeline projects with greater foreign policy muscle. This will help to become a strategic actor in the fields of energy policy and external energy relations. The EU’s internal disagreements vis-à-vis Europe’s main energy supplier Russia remain the most serious problem of the envisioned common European approach.
