UPEI and FETSA welcome European Parliament’s proposals to boost energy security

UPEI – the voice of Europe’s independent energy and mobility suppliers – and FETSA – the Federation of European Tank Storage Associations – warmly welcome the European Parliament’s adoption of its resolution on Energy Security of Supply.

Recent crises have exposed critical vulnerabilities in Europe’s energy systems and underscored the urgent need to build lasting resilience across all energy carriers.

UPEI and FETSA are therefore encouraged by the Parliament’s comprehensive and forward-looking approach to strengthening Europe’s energy security framework.

Strategic storage and distribution infrastructure are not just logistical assets – they are vital enablers of Europe’s industrial competitiveness, crisis preparedness, and societal resilience. As such, they must be fully recognised and supported within the EU’s evolving energy security architecture.

We urge the European Commission and the EU Council to take this position into account as they shape future energy security policies. UPEI and FETSA stand ready to engage constructively in the follow-up to this resolution and contribute to building a resilient, inclusive, and diversified energy landscape for Europe.
