  9. Good management and operation of oil and gas transmission systems;
  10. Diversification and control of energy transport routes;
  11. Ensuring security of supply of energy products from external sources with hydrocarbons (oil, natural gas) coal, uranium (uranium ore, nuclear fuel, heavy water) and electricity;
  12. Non-use of energy or electricity resources as a pressure tool or energy weapon for profitability or blackmail purposes;
  13. Promoting and providing energy activities: Research – Development – Innovation;
  14. Promoting, ensuring and increasing the quality of the education system through the continuous training of the specialized human resource in the energy field;
  15. Ensuring the resilience of the national energy sector and system in case of energy crisis (black-out);
  16. Assessment of the vulnerability of national energy security;
  17. Development and strengthening of international relations on ensuring energy security, energy trade and operational safety and security of the national energy sector and system;
  18. Identification of instability elements (vulnerabilities, risks, threats and dangers) to the national energy sector and system;
  19. Identification of elements of instability (vulnerabilities, risks, threats and dangers) to the safety of workers and workplaces in the national energy sector and system;
  20. Development of energy security, security and protection strategies for critical energy, national nuclear safety and others;
  21. Nuclear safety of nuclear power generation;
  22. Safe storage of radioactive waste;
  23. Effectiveness of major investments in new energy targets listed as critical or special infrastructures with a role of ensuring energy, societal and national security;
  24. Securing and protecting current critical energy infrastructure by identifying critical infrastructure and assessing sectoral security risks, in accordance with Council Directive 2008/114/EC of December 2008, on the identification and designation of European Critical Infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection and from the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 98 of November 3, 2010, on identification, designation and protection of critical infrastructure: offshore platforms and oil extraction pumps, storage warehouses (storage) oil, produces oil and petrochemicals and natural gas, refineries, oil pipelines, gas pipelines, oil, gasoline and ethane pumping stations, compression stations, valve control, cathodic protection and natural gas odorization, power plants, power substations and overhead power lines;
  25. Securing and protecting workers and workplaces in critical infrastructure, by identifying all risk factors and assessing Occupational Health and Safety risks, in accordance with Framework Directive 89/391 / EEC adopted in 1989 on occupational safety and health, Law 319/2006 on Occupational Health and Safety and of GD 1425/2006 on the approval of the Methodological Norms for the application of the provisions of Law 319/2006 on Occupational Health and Safety;
  26. Focusing the European Union’s energy security policy on the following pillars:
    • Security of energy supply – The European Union must become less dependent on imported energy, through more efficient use of energy produced in Europe and through diversification of energy and supply sources;
    • Nuclear energy – European Union action must contribute to ensuring the safety and security of nuclear reactors, the sound management of radioactive waste and the use of nuclear materials only for legitimate purposes;
    • The single energy market – The European Union must have fewer technical and regulatory barriers, so that energy can flow across national borders and energy suppliers can compete throughout the European Union;
    • Oil, gas and coal – European Union rules must maintain balance between fossil fuel markets and protect the environment, including when new technologies such as shale gas extraction are used;
    • Energy efficiency – The European Union must achieve certain energy efficiency targets so that it becomes a low-carbon society;
    • Energy technologies and innovations – The European Union must support the implementation of low-carbon technologies, such as photovoltaic and wind energy sources, carbon capture and storage and energy storage technologies;
    • Renewable energy – The European Union must coordinate actions taken to achieve national targets, in line with the Renewable Energy Directive;
  27. Focusing the Romania’s energy security policy on the following pillars:
    • Romania, regional energy security provider;
    • Continuation of electricity production from non-renewable energy sources (coal, natural gas, uranium) – with a very high share in ensuring, stability and increasing national energy security;
    • Promoting the production of electricity from renewable energy sources (E-SRE) and energy efficiency – promoting the production of electricity from renewable energy sources (hydrographic potential, photovoltaic parks, wind farms, biomass, etc.) must be an imperative at the level of Romania and the European Union justified by environmental protection, increasing energy independence from imports, by diversifying energy sources, as well as for economic and social cohesion reasons;
    • Making investments in critical energy infrastructure – construction of new national or cross-border critical energy infrastructures and/or refurbishment of existing ones;
    • Electricity storage – through major investments in energy storage technologies to cover domestic consumption during peak hours and control of the energy market, it must become the basic priority of decision-makers on ensuring, stability and increasing energy security;
    • Protecting vulnerable consumers and reducing energy poverty;
    • Stability of energy markets;
