dc.description.abstract | Energy security remains a vital issue for the European Union (EU), even more so in the
wake of the events that unfolded in early 2014 in Ukraine. The EU’s already fragile
position in the international energy arena in terms of security of supply appears to be
more uncertain than ever after its umpteenth fallout with its historic energy supplier,
Russia. This situation is untenable and calls for swift and decisive action to adequately
tackle the issue once and for all. The article looks at the creation of a single EU energy
market through integration of energy networks in the EU. It then examines various
ways to diversify the EU’s energy supply, whether through increasing the import of
liquefied natural gas, through its relations with the Eurasian Union, the promotion of
renewable energy or the construction of alternative pipelines and energy routes. The
article then offers an analysis of the latest developments of the Energy Charter
Conference. The article concludes that from energy transit, to technology transfer,
to investment protection, energy and trade present interplays across various fields.
Improvements can be made to the EU trading system to ensure greater energy security
and more efficient energy markets. | |
