President. –

Question No 4 by Colm Burke (H-1040/08)

Subject: Energy, external relations and the economy under the Czech Presidency

In light of the Presidency's stated priorities for its term in office, can it please specify how it intends to integrate the three priorities in terms of concrete initiatives? I refer specifically to discussions with partners to the east over strategic energy corridors which could serve to guarantee the EU's energy security and economic competitiveness into the future.
