HELSINKI, November 15 (RIA Novosti, Olga Andrianova) - The European Commission will not import energy from Russia until security in the country's nuclear power sphere is heightened, a commission representative told an energy forum in the capital of Finland.

Jean-Claude Schwartz said Russia should firstly shut down dangerous reactors. He added that Russia's share in European energy imports was 2% and was unlikely to increase by 2020.

At the same time, Schwartz noted that Russia's share in European oil imports was almost 33%, and in natural gas imports, about 50%.

Unlike the EU, Finland is more dependent on Russian energy, which constitutes 14% of all power consumed in Finland.
