Energy Security in the context of EU RussianEnergy Dialogue Dr. Vladimir Voloshin
Three main factors of energy security • sustainable energy supply • adequacy energy supply • reasonable energy price
To ensure energy security, the European Union proposes: • to diversify energy supply sources (expanding the range of foreign suppliers, using renewable energy sources); • to promote energy-saving development; • to develop cooperation with traditional energy suppliers, primarily with Russia.
For the European Union, the energy dialogue provides opportunities for: • access Russian energy resources, primarily oil and gas; • creation conditions for diversifying energy imports; • enhancing the sustainability of energy supply to the EU.
For Russia, the energy dialogue provides opportunities for: • attracting investment in order to develop energy fields; • recovering and modernizing the energy infrastructure; • creating favorable conditions for the economy to move to an innovations- based development model; • reducing market imbalances and obstacles to competition in the energy sector; • paving the way for restructuring the energy monopolies.
The main principles of fuel and energy transit include: • freedom of transit, non-discriminatory access to transportation infrastructure for energy transit; • provision of the national transportation regime for fuel and energy transit; • dispute settling procedure.
Common Problems • Energy poverty • Transparence, energy market predictability • Energy efficiency • Ecology issies
Russian Problems • Great gap between the rich the poor • Criminalisation of economy • Lack of social security • Negative public opinion to big private property
