Ukraine is committed to its European integration aspirations despite political problems standing in the country’s way to the EU. This statement was expressed the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Valeriy Khoroshkovsky during the session “UEW 2012 (Ukraine, East, West? Version 2012)” at the 9th Yalta Annual Meeting.
The energy sector should unite, but not divide the world. All decisions made in the energy sector should be holistic that is account for the entire set of consequences the decision implementation would entail said Matthias Bichsel, Executive Committee Member of SHELL speaking at the energy session at the 9th Annual Meeting of YES.
Europe should strive not to the world domination, but to the world collaboration. This idea was voiced by Mani Shankar Aiyar, Member of the Upper House of the Parliament of India at the session on “The Future of Europe” at the 9th Annual Yalta Meeting of YES.
