Jeg er sikker på, at de økonomiske data endelig vil overbevise dem, der nægter at lade sig anfægte af geopolitiske argumenter om, at det er uklogt at blive afhængig af en enkelt leverandør af energiressourcer, at der er behov for intern solidaritet mellem EU's medlemsstater, eller der er en reel trussel mod Østersøens økosystem.
I trust that the economic data will finally convince those who refuse to be swayed by geopolitical arguments, namely that it is unwise to become dependent on a single supplier of energy resources, by the need for internal solidarity between Member States of the Union or by the real threat to the Baltic Sea ecosystem.
