EU should not discard military to secure oil, expert says

Simon Henderson, director at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that Europe should assess all options, including military, when looking at its oil-supply security in the 21st century.

Speaking at a lunch debate organised by the Transatlantic Institute on 17 April in Brussels, Henderson said that the EU and the US needed to work closer to fend off “possible terrorist attacks on refineries and terminals” and ensure that “supplies continue to be delivered at the price and quantity that is needed”.
