39. Translate the following excerpt into Russian:

The EU and the world need reliable, affordable and sustainable flows of energy. This is a key element for economic development and the achievement of the Lisbon goals. There is an obvious link between energy security, sustainability and competitiveness.

Increasing dependence on imports from unstable regions and suppliers presents a serious risk. Some major producers and consumers have been using energy as a political lever. Other risks include the effects on the EU internal energy market of external actors not playing by the same market rules nor being subject to the same competitive pressures domestically.

A secure energy supply requires a combination of internal and external policies. The legitimate right of individual Member States to pursue their own external relations for ensuring security of energy supplies and to choose their internal energy mix is not in question. Nonetheless, the development of a coherent and focused external EU energy policy, drawing on the full range of EU internal and external policies, would enhance the collective external energy security of the Union. It would also help the EU face more effectively possible strategies by major external energy suppliers to adversely influence market fundamentals.

EU external relations can be used more effectively to pursue the common objective of securing reliable flows of affordable and environmentally sustainable energy. A European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy (March 2006), is a document which the energy policy the EU and its Member States want. A more fully developed internal policy is a pre-condition for delivering the EU’s external energy interests, and for better judging what leverage the EU is able to bring to bear in its external relations for furthering these interests. In order to enhance the external security of energy supplies of the EU, it is important that a coherent approach be adopted that pursues the following objectives:

• promoting transparency and improved governance in the energy sector through energy partnerships with third countries, the objective being to create mutually beneficial, open, transparent, non-discriminatory and stable legal conditions for energy investment and trade;

• improving production and export capacities in producer countries and developing and upgrading energy transportation infrastructure in producer and transit countries;

• improving the climate for European companies’ investments in third countries and opening up the production and export of energy resources to EU industry;

• improving conditions for trade in energy through non-discriminatory transit and third party access to export pipeline infrastructure;

• enhancing physical and environmental security as well as the energy infrastructure safety.
