This article analyses the issues of EU energy
policy in the 1990s-the beginning of the
2000s in order to identify the features of energy
supply and energy safety of the Baltic region
countries. The research and practical
significance of the work lies in the stepwise
description of actions taken by EU leaders
and EU member states in order to formulate a
common European energy policy. The 2004
EU enlargement posed the problem of taking
into account the features of energy supply of
Eastern European countries and, especially,
the Baltic States. The energy industries of
Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as
other Eastern European and CIS countries,
are closely related to the energy industry of
the Russian Federation. Trying to allow for
this circumstance, EU leaders and energy
structures took a number of organisational
measures aimed, on the one hand, at an increase
in energy independence of new members
of the EU and, on the other hand, at taking
into account the recent trends in the energy
market development. The research shows
that most of the initiatives do not take into
account the perspective and interests of Russia,
which has a strong presence in the energy
market.
The analysis conducted will help the assessment
of prospects of further development
of the Baltic States' energy industry and its interaction
with that of the Russian Federation.... view less
