This half-day workshop will examine the EU\u2019s external energy relations, with a goal of better understanding how and to what extent EU energy policies have an impact beyond its borders, and the degree of vulnerability of the EU\u2019s energy security, particularly in relation to its reliance on Russian energy resources.<\/p>\n

The workshop will first provide background on the place of energy in the EU\u2019s external policy and then focus on features specific to its relations with the Russian Federation and Canada, both important energy producing countries. The Russian Federation is a major supplier to the EU of natural gas and oil; while the EU\u2019s dependence on Russian resources is often emphasized, the relationship is arguably one of interdependence, as energy producing countries require reliable and stable markets.\u00a0 Tensions in the relationship include the perceived intrusion of political factors into Russia\u2019s export policies as they involve transit countries, and EU policies that mandate liberalization of energy markets, sometimes viewed by Russia as discriminatory. While Canada does not currently export significant amounts of energy to the EU, some EU policies and actions such as the Fuel Quality Directive, the successful WTO challenge to aspects of Ontario\u2019s Green Energy Act launched by Japan and the EU, the EU\u2019s push for tighter global carbon emissions standards, and the EU\u2019s leading role in the production of renewable energy resources sometimes have a controversial impact on policy debates in Canada.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s external energy polices reflect a mix of potentially contradictory objectives and concerns, which contribute to the complexity of its energy relations with countries like Russia and Canada. Most notably the EU\u2019s efforts to reduce its energy dependence are intertwined with its ecological agenda, involving policies to assure a greater reliance on renewable resources and to reduce the negative climate change impacts of dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, the EU espouses a commitment to liberal economic principles to promote creation of a competitive energy sector, but application of this principle can conflict with norms applied in other countries. Finally, the EU sometimes has difficulties forging a unified external energy policy that reconciles the diverse interests of its member states. This complex mix of objectives and considerations forms of the backdrop for the workshop\u2019s analysis of the EU\u2019s impact on foreign partners in the energy sphere.<\/p>\n
