This chapter seeks to summarise the main areas in which the European Union, through its various institutions, is seeking to address energy security concerns and how these actions are compatible with developments and policies in the UK. While the ongoing Euro crisis is leading to polarised views and uncertainties as to the degree of future integration of European structures and functions, the same cannot be said for the energy sector. Over the last few decades, there has been a gradual but far-reaching reform of European legislation which has significantly increased its engagement in the energy sectors in Member States.
