Abstract: The rapid overview made in this paper provides one obvious conclusion: it is impossible to prioritize a particular form of energy. Greater security for the European Community can only be obtained by the broadest possible diversification of the energies employed. Thus coal has always a part to play.

Keywords: coal industry; long-term prospects; energy security; energy supply; energy diversification.
