Amendment 4 #
2007/2118(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Underlines that energy security must be regarded as an essential component of the overall security of the European Union, whereas the definition of energy security should not be merely limited to the lack of internal EU production but should also take into account the geopolitical aspects of dependency on imports and the potential therein for politically motivated interruptions;
Amendment 8 #
2007/2118(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Regrets the lack of progress towards a common European energy policy and condemns bilateral deals by several Member States, which have hampered this process by undermining the ability of the European Union to speak with a common voice with major supplier countries; reiterates its call on the Member States to keep the Commission and each other informed before strategic decisions are taken on major bilateral agreements on energy projects, which could affect the interests of other Member States and the EU as a whole, as should be done in respect of all foreign policy issues of common interest;
Amendment 10 #
2007/2118(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Is of the opinion that Nord Stream is an infrastructure project with a wide political and strategic dimension for both the EU and Russia;, and underlines that it is primarily driven by Russian commercial and political interests, aimed at delivering gas straight from Russia to Western Europe, bypassing the transit states; underlines that this project increases Russia's energy leverage over the EU and its neighbours and decreases the ability of small littoral states to act as security providers in the Baltic Sea region; considers that since the project goes against the priorities of several EU Member States, it undermines the EU's ability to act as a unified entity and speak with one voice on energy issueserefore their mutual commercial interests in energy and the importance of a reliable relationship;
Amendment 40 #
2007/2118(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Calls on the Member States and the Commission to ensure that full and independent environmental impact assessments are carried out before decisions are made on all major infrastructure investments, including pipeline projects on sea and land; expresses its conviction that the current debate on the need for better environmental standards for implementation of the Nord Stream pipeline project will help to establish appropriate standards for future undertakings; in this regard, welcomes the recent decision by Nord Stream to commission a study from Finland and Sweden on the environmental risk posed by the existence of munitions dumped on the Baltic seabed after World War II, which contain highly toxic substances;
Amendment 58 #
2007/2118(INI)
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
