A future Europe of energy

The president of the European commission, José Manuel Barroso, and its energy commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, affirm that "Europe is entering a new energy landscape" in a joint commentary published in several leading European newspapers. "...Europe's approach to energy in the past has been disjointed, failing to connect different policies and different countries. That must change. That is why the European Commission is publishing a Green Paper today on developing a coherent European energy policy. Our proposed aim is sustainable, competitive and secure energy. If the countries of the European Union can take a common approach, and express it in a coherent and unified manner, Europe can lead the global search for energy solutions."
