Title: EU Commission undermines Franco-German-Russian cooperation eve of Turkish Nabuco
Post by: Horizon on July 13, 2009, 11:05:03 PM
Scandalous interference by out-going EU Commission against Franco-German Energy cooperation with Russia, at the eve of Turko-US Nabbuco pipeline push..

The brutal interference of out-going EU Commission which claims 1,1 Billion € from Franco-German energy companies GDF Suez and EON Ruhrgas on a cooperation with Russian Gazprom (See decision of July 8 ), at the eve of Turkey's attempts to impose, by any means, an expensive, too long and too risky, controversial "Nabucco" pipeline, notoriously pushed and controlled by an American lobby, (See event of July 13), looks less as a blunder, and more as a scandal !

If the out-going EU Commission accomplished its duties correctly, (i.e. defend "the European General Interest"), it should not fine, neither obstruct, but, on the contrary, FUND and support Franco-German energy industry's efforts to cooperate with Russia in a mutually benefiting way.
