This will quasitout nuclear to demonization of this energy

The words of President Putin on energy issues, expressing the will of a reliable and constructive partnership, should benefit from the full support of the Europeans. It is in the interest of Europe, much too vulnerable in a world where energy is a strategic vector. The United States well understood. The new great game they lead to the European Union for the control of energy fuels international policy. In the Middle East, hegemony is a fact: the war of Iraq made the Anglo-Saxons the masters of the oil from these countries. Saudi Arabia and the Emirates have favoured the Anglo-Saxon companies. The alignment of European foreign policy of the United States with the Iran leaves augurer American dominance when relations with this country will be allayed.

While the France has strong positions in the Gulf of Guinea and Angola, but there also, the US and China is progressing. The close ties between the US oil companies and the Government of the United States generate an energy policy dynamic and aggressive that the European Union does not offer a coherent defensive line.

It must urgently... The EU must speak with one voice, diversify sources and routes of external supply and in particular to conclude new partnerships with the Russia, energy giant, direct neighbor and largest supplier of the Union European. There is urgency, because negotiations are already underway between the countries, China and the Japan. If the dialogue on energy between the European Union and the Russia is established, the various agreements have not yet entered truly in fact. The EU represents 30 by volume and 70 in value of the revenue from Gazprom. The investment requirements to ensure supply and improve facilities were evaluated by the European Commission to $ 715 billion. Without these investments, the export capacity of the Russia risk of extinction by 2015, because, the Russian energy performance is located in a third of the European.

The Union therefore has a vital interest to strengthen the Russia supplier by technology transfer and investment. Control of the route and the co-management of the oil and gas pipelines also condition the security of supply. The recent gas conflict between the Russia and the Ukraine has stigmatized the lack of coordination of the European Union in this area. This is a warning for it. Some States are completely dependent on this source of supply. The EU had been surprised by the decision of the Russia to no longer sell its gas to the Ukraine to one-fifth of the international price. This surprise shows its lack of realism and its total lack of preparation.

While the major powers are engaged in a war for control of energy resources economic warfare, but also sometimes military war, as illustrated in the adventure of the United States in Iraq today, each Member of the Union develops its own options. This will quasi-tout nuclear to demonization of this energy. The sum of 25 energy policies is not a European energy policy.

The United States they have developed the strategy of the Silk Road and dominate the Middle East. The Russia control gas from Central Asia. The India and China buy everywhere where they can stakes in oil fields. China, by his foreign policy, close by the Iran and the Saudi Arabia of European supply in Africa, where it is already diplomatically and actually presents. If the States of the Union continue a policy of beggar, the Union the will pay very dearly. Were well aware that political Union weight is inextricably linked to the market share of the energy it will collectively known to conquer, including developing European and international cooperation of which the strategic partnership with the Russia is a major axis.
