Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that, as Member States pursue the goal of energy security and energy dependence, emphasis needs to be shifted towards a model of energy interdependence and sharing of renewable energy resources between Member States by ensuring the swift completion of the EU internal energy market and the EU supergrid infrastructure linking North and South, and East and West to best use the comparative advantages of Member States in renewable energy; highlights the importance of ensuring that policy and regulatory developments in Member States will eliminate remaining infrastructure ‘bottlenecks’ and will not create new barriers to electricity and gas or energy market integration; stresses, moreover, that energy policy decisions in each national system need to take account of how such decisions could affect other Member States;
