European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the main focus of the European Political Community meeting in Yerevan was an 'independent Europe'. The EPC includes around 50 EU and non-EU countries - EU member states, the UK, Ukraine and Western Balkan states and is widely seen as the 'brainchild' of France's Emmanuel Macron. Von der Leyen said: “We have to reduce our over dependencies in three areas. The first is energy. We are too much overdependent on imported fossil fuels and therefore always dependent on volatile global markets. “We have to increase our assets at home in Europe, and these are the renewable energies and nuclear energy. Because they are homegrown, they are cheaper and they are reliable.” #eu #Europe #energy #fossilfuels #renewables
