Von der Leyen stated that the EU has no desire for energy independence

The European Union does not need energy independence to ensure its security in this area. This was stated on September 21 by the head of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen in an interview with the Belgian newspaper Soir.

"When it comes to energy security, achieving full independence is not the goal. The goal of complete autonomy from global markets is unrealistic and undesirable. The EU retains its interconnectedness," she said.
