In March 2006, the European Commission launched the new Green Paper in which energy policy has become a top priority for the EU agenda. Both the lack of massive investments in infrastructure and the non-compliance of the recent Directives to liberalize the gas and electricity markets make evident that something is wrong between national policy and supranational scopes represented by the EC. In fact, this thesis will focus on how the national energy policies diverge to prevent supranational goals set by the Green Paper 2006. In short, it will prove that a review on a clear European approach is needed not only to prevent huge contradictions between member states but to ensure coherence of the CFSP.
