As it is, the E3RC would pursue two directly related objectives: European energy independence, which would be helped by new energy and environmental technologies, and Europe’s increased bargaining power in global markets. Its creation would also send out a new message to the European public: competition alone is not the only thing on Europe’s horizon.
目前来看，欧洲能源、环境和研究共同体有两个直接相关的目标可以追求，即欧洲能源的独立自主。这依赖于新的能源和环境技术，和加强欧洲在全球市场上讨价还价的能力。它的建立同时也可以向欧洲民众传递一个新的信息，即欧洲的大地上所存在的并不仅仅竞争。最为主要的是，欧洲需要合作。
