However it took relatively long time until there was a will to implement this idea into practice. Together with the Lisbon Treaty energy policy of the EU acquires new dimension, where Article 194 TFUE provides a legal basis for development of a common energy policy in the spirit of solidarity among member states. The fi rst signifi cant act after the Lisbon reform, that sought to achieve the objective of energy supplies security in the EU is regulation 994/2010/EU.
