Abstract

The debate over the creation of a common European energy policy has been going on for a number of decades. Right from the start, the first common institution of the original six countries of the European Union (EU) was the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. It was followed in 1957 by the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (known as Euratom). The founders of the EU were aware of the strategic character of energy. After years of slow drift, the question of pooling energy stakes is again at the heart of European policy making. The discussions on a common energy policy have been recently brought back into the spotlight by the evolution of energy market fundamentals, climate change constraints, and security of supply priorities (especially the management of relations with some suppliers like Russia).
