EU's dependence on Russian natural gas supply
Klouda, Petr ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Procházková Ilinitchi, Cristina (referee)
This paper is dealing with the issue of EU's dependence on the natural gas supply from Russia. The main focus is on different aspects of energy security as stocks capacity, diversification of sources or stability of supplies. But the primary focus remains the supplies dependence. Taking in consideration big differences between EU states and between natural gas supplies dependence on Russia this paper took three different points of view from three different groups of states. Which means that the natural gas's business relationship between EU and Russia is viewed from the point of view of states that have free access to supplies of natural gas from another sources or do not import natural gas from Russia at all and also from the point of view of states that rely on Russian supplies for 100 % of their yearly domestic consumption. Those different perspectives are then put into context with energy security of the whole EU. Last but not least this paper is focused on alternative ways of natural gas supply and on the way how could EU actually improve its energy security in this matter.
EU-Russia: mutual energy relations
Bezrodná, Ksenija ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
Depleting fossil fuel reserves in EU and energy consumption growth lead to the fact that the European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on energy imports. The most important energy partner of the EU is Russia which delivers the biggest volumes of oil and natural gas to european countries. High rate of energy dependency on Russia is - especially in the context of gas crisis - perceived as a threat to EU energy security and it is necessary to deal with it immediately. The aims of the European Union policy on energy are to achieve higher territorial diversification of fossil fuel suppliers and transit countries and diversification of the EU energy mix, to promote renewable forms of energy and to establish common energy market to ensure solidarity among EU member states. European Union also should learn how to act as "one actor" and "one voice" on energy relations with Russia because that could help to ensure better negotiation position and to become a sovereign partner in mutual energy relations with Russia.
