Abstract: The dynamics of primary energy consumption in EU can be related to the dynamics of GDP, if during economic boom was evident an increase of consumption with the burst of crisis and afterwards one may see a lowering consumption that stood out. But there were other factors that have influenced the dynamics of consumption, as the trend in oil prices and public policies for energy conservation. Dependence on energy imports of the EU has increased in the analyzed period, especially for countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and especially for crude oil and natural gas, while the main suppliers were Russia and Norway. But any serious analysis must be differentiated taken into account the specificity of energy mix/ sector in each MS and broad differences between energy policies across the EU.File-URL:http://www.globeco.ro/wp-content/uploads/vol/split/vol_4_no_2/geo_2016_vol4_no2_art_004.pdf
