European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy, Stefan Fule, announced that negotiations on agreements on visa facilitation and readmission between Azerbaijan and European Union will be intensified next year with a view to an early conclusion.
According to the commissioner, within the energy cooperation between Azerbaijan and EU significant steps have been taken on the Southern Energy Corridor.
“The ratification by the Azerbaijani parliament of the agreements with Turkey on the construction and operation of the Transanatolian Pipeline (TANAP) is very welcome. We are expecting in the next months the final decision of the Shah Deniz consortium on the preferred EU route of the pipeline. On the Transcaspian Pipeline, we have confirmed with Minister Mammadyarov our joint commitment to work closely with Turkmenistan with a view to finalize our trilateral agreement, paving the path for the energy South Corridor”, said Fule.
