EU seeks G8 drive for open energy market - by Paul Taylor
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union urged the United States on Saturday to join it in pressing for open energy markets and more democracy in Russia when the world's leading industrial powers meet in St Petersburg in July. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told a trans-atlantic forum that the 25-nation EU and Washington should jointly press Moscow to create free market conditions and legal certainty to guarantee predictable energy supplies.
"We need to enhance our external cooperation and create the necessary market conditions and legal framework in those producers or transit countries on which the world economies count for their energy supply," he said.
