The reform process of the European Union’s Constitutional Treaty was also discussed, and Hans-Gert Pöttering confirmed that the Constitutional Treaty is the number one priority in the Community today.
Issues related to the energy security of the European Union were also discussed. The Estonian Head of State repeated his conviction that the European Union needs a uniform energy policy and it must spread risks by liberalizing the energy market.
