Abstract

European energy policy is currently poorly coordinated between the member states of the European Union, although substantial gains could be achieved through enhanced cooperation both at the European and the global level. The argument in favour of a European energy union – a genuine common energy market with common regulation – is even stronger than the case that was successfully made in the 1980s and 1990s for a monetary union.
