Abstract
The paper notes that the EU will increasingly rely on energy supplies from neighboring countries. Needless to say that among the principles and motives of the ENP, energy has a major role since it is obvious neighboring countries have resources (oil and gas) the EU needs to secure. For instance Europe receives gas from (or via) several neighboring countries (Algeria; Azerbaijan – via Georgia; Libya; Russia – through various channels including via Belarus and Ukraine). How is energy handled in ENPs? Within the frame of the ENP, which strategy is adopted concerning energy? Talking about a strategy, we should first define the goals (of this strategy); then identify the means used to achieve these goals; and see if these means are fully consequent with the desired goals.
