Security of energy supplies to Lithuania

3.6.2008

ORAL QUESTION H-0423/08
for Question Time at the part-session in June 2008
pursuant to Rule 109 of the Rules of Procedure
by Laima Liucija Andrikienė
to the Council

EU energy security is at the top of the EU political agenda. In order to guarantee stable energy (i.e. electricity) supplies, Lithuania is trying to prolong the work of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Point until the new NPP is built in the country.

 

Taking into account energy security issues, the challenges of climate change, the world economic situation, rising energy prices, potential shortages in energy supply in Lithuania after 2009 and Lithuania's long-standing commitment to close the INPP but with a few years postponement, will the Council support Lithuania in overcoming the difficulties which occurred already after 2004 when Lithuania joined the EU?
