European Commission discusses a shortened version of the Nabucco pipeline project

“The infrastructure can have another name, not Nabucco West. It may also have other investors, but it is still an important project. We hope that Romania is going to be a large gas market and an exporter of shelf and shale gas,” the EU Commissioner for Energy Günther Oettinger said.

According to him, the European Commission also greets the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), Nabucco’s business rival. They are about to transport the Azerbaijani gas from Turkey to South Europe via Greece and Albania with the help of this pipeline. But there also necessary an alternative infrastructure.
