Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian gas disputes of 2006, 2009 and 2013-2014 sparked an intens debate about the European Union’s energy future. While the EU advocates a decrease of its reliance on Russia, imports of Russian gas are increasing in reality. Several planned pipeline projects are set to perpetuate this dependence. Still, several avenues to improve energy independence are explored. While most of these options require time, investments and political will, policy developments demonstrate that the EU is mainly pushing for renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements. It thereby attempts to aling the energy security agenda with climate policy. While this is not the option preferred by Central and Eastern European member states, who are ready to sacrifice climate measures for energy security, the dominant gas demand of Western member states gives the latter greater leverage over the European energy policy framework.
