Abstract
Since the Summit of Hampton Court, on October 25, 2005, the heads of State or Government of the EU have never stopped discussing energy matters. Energy issues have also been on the top of the agenda at the G8 meetings, with the President of Russia. For the first time, during the winter 2006-2007, the EU Commission set up a global strategy that encompasses several dimensions and tried to elaborate coherent mid-term and long-term objectives, both internal and external, with a hierarchy between the various priorities.
