Europe's energy security: Challenges and opportunities
Article Abstract:
The extreme volatility of global energy markets in the first decade of the 21st century prompted the Commission of the European Communities to issue a new Green Paper in March 2006 that seeks to identify the main steps EU members need to take to enhance their energy outlooks. A study aims to examine Europe's efforts to diversify its energy mix and energy sources, arguing that stability and predictability in energy markets are shared goals between producing regions and major consumers.
