The prime aim of the European Community's energy policy is to ensure a supply of energy to all consumers at affordable prices while respecting the environment and promoting healthy competition on the European energy market.
Creation of a single market is a part of the energy policy and has long been a priority of the Community. In March 2001 the Commission adopted a set of measures to open the gas and electricity markets up fully by July 2007.
At international level, the EU is likewise endeavouring to establish cooperation in the energy field with almost all the main countries and regions of the world, and more particularly with Russia.
Energy from renewable energy sources is playing a key role in the diversification and sustainability of energy sources and in the campaign to combat climate change.
Then, several programmes were set up:
- "Intelligent Energy for Europe" programme (2003-2006)
- the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme CIP(2007-2013)has been adopted to meet the objectives of the renewed Lisbon strategy, and thus stimulate growth and employment in Europe.
Alongside legislative measures or measures designed to encourage changes, technological progress is an important means of achieving the objectives of Community energy strategy. The seventh framework programme offers a framework adapted to the development of new energy technologies which must improve the production and consumption of energy in Europe.
As regards nuclear energy, Union policy in this area is the responsibility of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) set up in 1957 on the basis of a separate treaty to that of the European Community.
