US – EU Dialogue on a Secure and Market Based Energy Future – Poland
June 06, 2011
The Atlantic Council and the Polish Institute of International Affairs, in cooperation with the Clingendael International Energy Program at the Netherlands Institute for International Relations and the French Institute of International Relations held a dialogue with government, industry, and non-governmental policy experts to examine current efforts to transform European supply and consumption of energy. Participants discussed how to build an energy future for Europe that addresses the integrated goals of energy security, environmental responsibility, and economic prosperity.
The Dialogue centered on the need for Central and Eastern Europe countries to establish policies and take action that accounts for immediate energy security, long-term security of supply, and environmental sustainability while keeping costs competitive and being consistent with Europe-wide energy policy. This initiative further developed an understanding on how to transform regional alliances into realistic and balanced policies to develop the energy sector in the Visegrad 4 countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary). The workshop was designed to create a common understanding of the issues related to the development of a coherent policy on energy security in Central Europe from the perspective of the regional governments, the European Union, and the United States. The agenda focused on deepening the understanding of these differences, how they will affect future policies, and what specific cooperative steps should be taken to ensure the availability, reliability, and affordability of energy.
