The security implications of Europe's energy thirst |
|
 |
|
The Security & Defence Agenda is pleased to announce the publication of its new report, entitled “The security implications of Europe’s energy thirst”. It summarises the SDA’s roundtable of May 25th, which gathered high representatives from Russia, the Czech Republic, Georgia, NATO, EU institutions and the Oil Companies International Marine Forum. Looking into strategic relations with Russia and the race to Arctic, the roundtable’s main conclusion was that the European Union's relationship with Russia is a fundamental factor to the security, or insecurity, of Europe's future energy supplies.
