Summary/Abstract: Energy security implies analyzing and establishing security measures in three main areas: resources, consumers and infrastructures.European Union and NATO member states usually depend on energy sources located far from their frontiers, in many cases located in regions with political or economical instability and a low degree of security.NATO structures involvement in the matter of energy security is an issue of the day that has never been approached in detail by analysts and researchers. NATO, as apolitical-military organization of security and defense is the only multinational structure capable of acting efficiently in the matter of energy security.
