At the World Gas Conference in Amsterdam, Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs addressed the growing role of gas in both EU and world energy supply. He underlined the increasing importance of LNG (liquefied natural gas), the need for a stable regulatory framework for infrastructure investment and the compatibility of supply security and competition. The EU was currently developing a new energy policy, which for gas was to be based on three pillars: encouraging investment, a coordinated EU approach and international co-operation.
