      Belgium: American gas won't save us, say EU leaders

      EU leaders explained on Thursday that they had extensively discussed the issue of energy security in Europe as part of the latest G7 meeting.

      European Commission president José Manuel Barroso said he had met with president Obama earlier this week and that the US was ready to increase the supply of natural gas to the world market. Nevertheless, he said that gas coming from the United States would not solve all problems

      European Council president Herman van Rompuy also rebutted comments from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Mevedev that an earlier G7 statement was 'infinitely cynical'. The statement had described the Ukrainian army offensive in Eastern Ukraine as 'restrained', and van Rompuy repeated that description in the press conference.
