Meh. "Europe" as you know is not a monolith. The paragraph is as meaningless as insisting that "Asia" has a problem with energy policy. Russia's neighbors like the Baltics + Poland + Finland have been warning Germany and France about all of this for decades, and their domestic energy and military policies have taken all of this into account. The EU center of power is shifting towards these countries as a result. So, maybe be a little bit embarrassed if you're German or French but only a little :)
