Jose Barroso Energy Quotations

I am very delighted that the European Council is backing our call for an energy policy for Europe, that it makes sense to have a common strategy for Europe.

We need a new partnership with Russia. We are interdependent. If we need a flow of energy from Russia, namely gas, I believe that it is also in the interest of Russia to have a stable market and a stable relationship with such an important customer as the European Union.

We should refuse nationalism of an economic kind, especially in the energy sector in Europe.

When we make the history of European integration we will say that energy policy was born on March 23-24, 2006. The conclusions are very, very important.

The energy challenges of the 21st century require a common EU response. The EU is an essential element in delivering sustainable, competitive and secure energy for European citizens.
