Uniunea Europeană și problematica securităţii energetice
The European Union and the energy security

Summary/Abstract: For the European Union as a political and strategic player, the access to natural energy resources is vital for the economic development and the well-fare of the populations. EU wants to set up energy partnerships with its main neighbors, especially with Russia, the country which provides the bulk of the natural gas and oil importations. But because Russia does not seem to always be a reliable partner, EU has to find alternative sources of energy, also trying to limit the pollution of the environment. Only when EU will manage to speak with “one voice” in the realm of energy and will convince Moscow that there is interdependency between EU and Russia, not a relation based on European dependency, there could be mutually advantageous relations for both of them.
