THE EUROPEAN UNION

Javier Solana,
EU High Representative for the Foreign Common and Security Policy

at the
Annual Conference

Brussels, 1 February 2008

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am delighted to be here and I want to thank IFRI for the invitation.

Energy questions have shot to the top of the international agenda. It is easy to see why.Hardly a day goes by without a decision or event highlighting how much energy questions are linked to international politics. This is an important challenge which will stay with us for years tocome. But it is also an urgent one. The lead time in energy is long. Our decisions today - or, more often, the absence thereof - greatly influence the options we will have tomorrow.
