The European Union does not plan to import Canadian oil and gas. Belén Martínez Carbonell, secretary general of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the EU's diplomatic corps, said at a press conference in Ottawa on February 27 that Brussels prioritizes clean energy sources. These remarks come as Canada seeks new buyers for its hydrocarbons, facing a global surplus of fossil fuels.
