EU External Energy Policy – Between Market and Strategic Interests
EU External Energy Policy – Between Market and Strategic Interests

Summary/Abstract: The EU external energy policy is still in the making and the ultimate outcome is as yet uncertain. The process was launched by the European Commission in 2006 under the catchy slogan “to speak with one voice” on issues regarding relations with the major oil and gas producers, consumers and transit countries.
