Energy Dependency and Geopolitics - How can the EU balance a secure energy supply with a dependency on non-EU states?

Current war in Ukraine has had major impact in EU‘s energy landscape

ACER, CEER and IEA are responsible for covering issues for energy-related matters

Russia is the main EU supplier of fossil fuels, natural gas and crude oil

A vast array of institutions has made it difficult for the EU Commision to successfully manage the energy consumption and imports of all of its Member States

Events in Ukraine have shown too much reliancy on a single energy supplier

International agreements to be difficult and complex

Key Actors

Measures in Place

Non EU States: Russia, USA, Iraq and Norway

Southern Gas Corridor - a plan to reduce the EU‘s dependency on Russian energy by building a new natural gas line from Caspian region to Turkey

European Council and European Commission Germany‘s Vice Chancellor Robert Habek struck up a deal with the UAE and Qatar for a independent energy deal

International bodies within Europe

Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)

Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER)

Italy aims to purchase more gas via the Southern Gas Corridor and from African countries like Algeria

TRAN Rural Mobility - What can the EU do to increase the mobility of citizens in rural areas?

59% European citizens who live in rural areas said that it was difficult, or even impossible, to travel using public transportation in their areas.

How do you plan on solving this mobility problem?

Resources

Things to keep in mind...

Rural areas are less attractive due to less population density.

Cars produce more pollution then public transport.

Has much initiative been made to solve the transport problem?
