EU calls for more energy cooperation with U.S.

The European Union and the United States should cooperate more closely on energy issues, the president of the EU executive Commission said on Thursday.

“In today’s world, if the energy security of either one of us is impaired, it affects the other. I believe this situation calls for a transformation in our cooperation on energy issues,” Jose Manuel Barroso said in a speech at Washington’s Georgetown University where he was receiving an honorary degree.
