“A commercial decision must be made on Nabucco project. It is already clear that Nabucco is the major project within the framework of the South Corridor, as it will be possible to deliver more gas to Europe through this pipeline. Nabucco is also profitable for the countries producing natural gas,”, APA reports. As to the realization of Nabucco project, transportation of Shahdeniz gas through the pipeline that will be constructed based on this project, Jose Manuel Barroso said all these are commercial decisions, and they must be made on the commercial level.
“But these decisions can also be supported on the political level. The Nabucco-related decision must be made by the business companies; I reiterate that this is a commercial decision. Yesterday President Ilham Aliyev openly stated that Azerbaijan supports this process. As regards Turkey, this country also supports this project. Therefore, the companies must have a say. We cannot make decision instead of the companies, we can only give political support,” Barroso said.
