‘Mr. Energy’ and the Future of European Energy Policy

'The Energy Charter Treaty should be the cornerstone of the common European foreign policy on energy,' says a report adopted by a large majority in the European Parliament, September 2007. The own-initiative report, by Foreign Affairs committee Chairman Jacek Saryusz-Wolski (EPP-ED, PL), also advocates creating a post for a 'High Official of Foreign Energy Policy' to co-ordinate the EU's activities in the field, and recommends diversification and increased energy efficiency to improve the EU's energy security.
