Clingendael Energy Lecture 'European energy markets and energy policy' by Dr. Dieter Helm 12 December 2006
The influential British energy expert Dr. Dieter Helm thoroughly analysed the current challenges to European energy markets in a Clingendael Energy Lecture on 12 December 2006. Helm underlined that security of energy supply and climate change have to be the focal points of any European energy policy. He pleaded for a strengthening of the EU's commitment to combating climate change, looked into the consequences of import dependency for internal market organisation and also touched upon the implications of Germany's special relationship with Russia for the development of a common European energy policy. Against the backdrop of current developments in world energy markets and recognizing the importance of solidarity and cooperation between EU Member States, Dr. Helm developed concrete elements of such a common EU energy policy.
