22:49
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Saturday that the EU should form an energy union, in order to reduce dependency on Russian gas.
“The experience of the last few weeks shows that Europe must strive towards solidarity when it comes to energy,” Tusk said, referring to the recent events in Ukraine and Russia's annexation of Crimea.
The PM said that the union could be based on six points. One of them should be the return to coal as an energy fuel. Other points would include more shale gas exploration, common energy purchases and liquid gas purchases from the US.
