China Gas Information
Natural gas accounts for 25% of the eu total energy demand, with 60% of the natural gas to import. Natural gas production more than usage only the Netherlands and Denmark member states. Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Greece, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and many other member states, almost completely dependent on imported gas to meet consumer demand. Since 1990, the European Union's gas imports has doubled. In 2020, the eu is expected to need from outside the eu imports of natural gas in 80%.
The European Union as the world's natural gas mainly imported one of the party, the policy emphasis include natural gas supply security undoubtedly. Now, the eu take strong measures to ensure a steady supply of natural gas. In between member states to promote effective coordination with the support of the legal framework, actively push diversification strategy, increase and central Asia region of natural gas development and cooperation.
All across the Caspian pipeline construction
At present, most natural gas exports to the European Union or position the most weight lifting weight countries have: Norway, Russia, Algeria and Nigeria. The central Asian countries azerbaijan and turkmenistan might quickly ascended to the great powers of natural gas exports to the European Union list.
In January 2011, President of the European commission Jose Manuel Barroso Joseph · Manuel (Jose Manuel Barroso) and the eu energy commissioner, gong's odinga · case (Gunther Oettinger) successively visited azerbaijan capital Baku and turkmenistan capital Khartoum and ASHLEY, and respectively with the azerbaijan's President his (Aliyev) and turkmenistan's President, Jose mourinho ha mei's don't Randolph (Berdimuhamedov) negotiations.
The European Union and azerbaijan and turkmenistan discussion in particular on three aspects: to determine the European Union, azerbaijan and turkmenistan legal obligations of the treaty; In order to realize the authorized, construction and operation across the Caspian pipeline project itself must be reached, the soil bilateral agreement; Turkmenistan through this pipe gas legal framework, the framework including proper business ?
As a follow-up of direct talks, on December 12, 2011, the European Union has officially approved the law, to talk about the European Union, azerbaijan and turkmenistan across the Caspian pipeline system on a binding treaty signed the across the Caspian pipeline agreement matters. This is the first time through the eu treaties to support a infrastructure construction project. In all 27 member nations through the eu member states on behalf of all of negotiation resolution, this treaty will contribute to by the European Union.
"Across the Caspian pipeline agreement for linking turkmenistan and azerbaijan the pipeline construction of laid solid foundation. The pipe and the central Asian gas to Europe's pipeline transport links up marks the eu gas network "downtown" (the Southern Corridor) completely settles, benefit from the Caspian sea basin and the Middle East to the eu directly to achieve the goals of natural gas transportation; The European Union on a few suppliers can lower the reliance of the; At the same time, it is the European commission in the communique in energy supply and international cooperation to the proposed energy development strategy "European Union energy policy: with our cooperative partners in cross-border cooperation" in the gas field embodiment.
The eu energy commissioner odinga lattice point out: "across the Caspian pipeline is' the downtown of the main engineering, will be" the ?
The new law escort gas new action
Move is new, but the strategy and the system is established. On dec. 2, 2010 shall become effective on the eu guarantee the safety of gas latest law "that the natural gas supply and abolished the council directive 2004/67 / EC of the 994/2010 law (European Union)" for the new action today the eu natural gas provides the most favorable guarantee.
In January 2009 the Russian-Ukraine gas crisis is a lesson, the laws to strengthen the crisis and deal with the crisis of system, emphasize the internal energy market in the frame, the member states and natural gas market participants in advance should take effective measures to prevent a crisis, and through various efforts to ease the potential negative effects of natural gas supply disruptions.
In order to effectively deal with risks, the laws and regulations, in natural gas supply disruptions circumstances, would ensure that household and a range of protected consumers at least 30 days of natural gas supply. Act encourages the market main body actively participate in natural gas supply, transmission system operation, as long as you can guarantee that natural gas supplies, once appear only to take measures to solve the problem of market, promised to member states to government authority departments to take other legitimate measures for the regional cooperation in the European Union and within the coordination. In order to improve the efficiency and effect of against the crisis, the law is also pushing the information revealed and exchange mechanism construction, not only the relevant provisions in natural gas supply security emergency measures and public service obligation of transparency within the eu is also pushing gas contract in the information
To strengthen two-way the implementation of the law of natural gas infrastructure construction attention. Pay attention to natural gas cross-border connection two-way communication ability the enhancement, to further make all eu member states, especially in the state of the isolated country connected up, enhance the flexibility and security of the supply of natural gas. Related project construction in Worcester already start before, in November 2010, European Energy Renaissance project (European Energy Programme for Recovery, EEPR) support to the 31 a natural gas infrastructure projects into 1.39 billion euros, of which 80 million euros key support nine members of the reverse transportation projects, and about 1.3 billion euros for the support of the natural gas inlet connection project.
Of course, only measures and goals is not enough, the most important is to implement measures and goals of the ability. In order to promote the eu and member states in the legal framework solidarity, effective disposal of any major natural gas supply disruptions, the European commission and gas cooperation organization (including members of the cooperation mechanism) was given the more important role. In particular natural gas cooperation organization, the European Union member states, natural gas industry organization, energy regulators cooperation agency, natural gas supplier and the transmission system operators, representatives of the consumer representatives, consumer groups are members of the group, the cooperation within the eu to be more convenient. The European Union energy affairs spokesman Marion hall, watts (Marlene Holzner) once said, "in the gas cooperation organization assigned ?
