Summary/Abstract: In launching the idea of an “Energy Union,” Warsaw managed to leave its mark on the uropean Commission’s May 2014 Communication on Energy Security. Compared to 2006, hen Warsaw advocated a similar package of measures, this breakthrough is a mark of oland’s growing influence in the EU and a sign of its capacity to navigate the increasingly omplex decision-making processes in Brussels. Yet, there is still a long way to go if it wants o ensure these ideas are acted upon. In this context, it may actually be a useful exercise to educe the process of selling the Energy Union to the basics and work out how various spects of the Polish proposal could be promoted by different political channels.
