Summary/Abstract: Energy has been an important and priority subject for the European Union, while the Ukrainian war have intensified the member countries' uncertainties about the energy security. This paper aims to highlight the EU countries energy dependency on conventional resources. In this regard, this study presents a brief analysis regarding the 27 EU member states' domestic production, trade and consumption of conventional energy resources, especially oil products, natural gas and solid fossil fuels, for the period 2014- 2022. The results show that there are differences between EU countries in terms of domestic production, internal consumption and trade. Although the situation for solid fossil fuels is optimistic, most EU countries need to rely on imports of petroleum products and natural gas from Russia in order to cover their consumption needs.
