On November 7th 2006 a memorandum of understanding on energy co-operation was signed between Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The agreement is a further indicator of the EU's policy to diversify energy suppliers throughout the region in order to secure supply to the European market. For European consumers, the Caspian energy reserves and the pipelines that bring the oil and gas to Europe's doorstep are increasing in importance. The EU currently imports 50 per cent of its energy needs but that figure is set to rise to 70% by 2030. As winter draws in, the price of energy will remain high on the agenda. Released to coincide with the conference "Towards an EU external energy policy to ensure a high level of supply security" which takes place in Brussels on the 20th and 21st November the VNR highlights some of the EU's energy relationships from Ukraine to Algeria. It examines the importance of investment in transmission and the report raises the potential of having one voice on energy, enabling the EU to secure supply on behalf of its 450 million strong market. This news report includes interviews with Jean Marie Chevalier, Professor of Economics, Centre of Geopolitics of Energy and Raw materials, Dauphine University, Benita Ferrero Waldner, European Commissioner for External Relations & European Neighbourhood Policy and Mikayil Jabbarov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Republic of Azerbaijan.
This November, pipelines will feed the first gas from the Shakhtanese gas field in the
00:00:00
Caspian Sea onshore to the terminal at Sangachal in Azerbaijan.
00:00:06
For European consumers, these reserves are becoming increasingly important.
00:00:11
The EU currently imports 50% of its energy needs, but that figure is set to rise to 70%
00:00:16
by 2030.
00:00:22
Price disputes, the weather, continuing instability in the Middle East, all have an impact on
00:00:25
the market.
00:00:29
So, in a volatile new century, what can Europe do to ensure the security of its energy supplies?
00:00:30
What we have to do is to grow our relationships with many other countries, particularly those
00:00:37
that are energy suppliers.
00:00:45
That is, of course, Russia, but not only Russia, also Algeria, for instance, the Caucasian
00:00:47
countries and Central Asia.
00:00:53
Diversifying energy suppliers is important, and so too is investment in the pipelines.
00:00:56
Through the InnoGate programme, the European Union has played a key role in attracting
00:01:02
finance to the large energy projects throughout the network, politically as well as physically
00:01:06
bringing energy to the market.
00:01:11
And it is that market that is Europe's most powerful tool in guaranteeing supply.
00:01:13
Four hundred and fifty million consumers make it one of the largest energy markets in the
00:01:19
world, and together the member states have considerable purchasing power.
00:01:23
While, on the one hand, it is natural that each and every country wants to work also
00:01:27
for its own national supplies, it is very important to maximise the coordination.
00:01:34
For the moment, I think there is no common energy policy, but there is a common energy
00:01:41
vision of the future.
00:01:47
This is very important.
00:01:49
Having one voice on energy not only enables the EU to secure supply on behalf of the market,
00:01:51
it also represents a real opportunity for Europe to present its sustainable energy vision
00:01:57
to the world.
