(7) In the case of gas and electricity interconnections, the challenges have developed in the course of the last years. The recent gas crises (winters 2006 and 2009) and the increase of oil prices until mid-2008 showed how much Europe was vulnerable. The lack of interconnections from eastern European countries into the EU energy market has not yet been addressed. Indigenous energy resources – gas and oil – are decreasing so that Europe is increasingly dependent on imports for its energy supply. In this context, energy infrastructure will play a crucial role.
