Similarly, energy security has become a policy priority for the European Union (EU) and its 27 member states. The EU imports about 50% of its energy needs. Barring significant changes, the European Commission expects this figure to rise to 65% by 2030. About half of the EU's natural gas imports and 30% of its imported oil come from Russia. Europe's growing dependence on Russian energy, and long-term energy agreements between Russian firms and some European governments have fueled speculation that Moscow is using the \"energy weapon\" to try to influence European foreign and economic policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibliogov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47598238105751,"sku":"9781288668502","price":1432.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781288668502.webp?v=1775000136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-european-unions-energy-security-challenges-9781288668502","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
