Oettinger warns Germany against solo efforts on energy

On 30 September 2014, in one of his last appearances as EU Energy Commissioner, Günther Oettinger called on the German government to give its energy policy a more European focus.

Mr Oettinger stated that 'we must finally complete the European internal energy market. It cannot be limited to political rhetoric'.
