Różne podejścia, jeden cel. W stronę wspólnego stanowiska Unii Europejskiej wobec bezpieczeństwa energetycznego
Different Approches, One Target: Towards a Common EU Position on Energy Security

Summary/Abstract: The development of common energy policy in the European Union, including the aspects of energy security and solidarity, is not yet close to completion. Despite the legal basis for the creation of such a policy being expressed in Article 194 TFEU, what is lacking at the current stage of integration, especially among the EU’s largest Member States, is political will. The lack of a common position among the states in regards to, for instance, security of the gas supply to the EU or external policy in general, seriously hinders the development process of consistent common policy at the EU level in the area of energy security and solidarity. With this taken into account, the creation of a common gas market based on the free trade of goods (free movement of gas) between Member States and free access to infrastructure for all suppliers may enable the EU countries to possess comparable energy mixes and import dependencies in addition to similar interests and expectations with regards to common energy policy in the area of energy security and energy solidarity.
