Georgian media informs that, Dow Jones reported with reference to Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger, the European Commission remains committed to open Southern Gas Corridor, which proposes the transportation of the Caspian gas to the European countries.
“We are very determined that the corridor will be opened,” Oettinger said at the press conference ahead of a meeting of Nabucco Political Committee in Vienna.
The Southern Gas Corridor is a major energy project for the EU. It is intended to diversify routes and sources of supply. It is aimed at ensuring EU energy security. Gas which will be produced during the second stage of Azerbaijani Shah Deniz field development is considered as the main source for the Souther Gas Corridor projects.
