Създаването на газопровода "Южен поток" трябва да бъде спряно до постигането на пълно съответствие с нормите на ЕС, смята еврокомисарят по енергетиката Гюнтер Йотингер. Той е изразил това мнение в рамките на кръгла маса по енергийната политика на ЕС в Брюксел. Президентът Владимир Путин призова във вторник въпросът за строителството на "Южен поток" да не се политизира, отбелязвайки, че той е изгоден както за Русия, така и за Евросъюза. Путин определи опитите на САЩ да провалят реализацията на проекта като "обичайна конкурентна борба".

European Commission Relations between Russia and the European Union are going through difficult times, but Moscow hopes to continue developing strategic partnership, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday. Putin sent a congratulatory letter to Jean-Claude Juncker, who earlier in the day was approved to head the European Union's supreme executive body for the next five years. Jean-Claude Juncker won the European Parliament election as the next president of the European Commission with 422 votes in favor opposed to 250 against, dpa cites the president of the legislature as saying. "I think that with (this) result, a fundamental change of direction has been achieved in the structures of the European Union," commented parliament President Martin Schulz with reference to a new process of lead candidates that was used in the nomination. International coordination conference of donor aid to Ukraine is going to be held in Brussels on Tuesday. It is not expected to produce a decision on immediate new allocations of aid to Ukraine. A telephone talk on the gas issue between European Commissioner for Energy Günther Oettinger and Russia's Minister of Energy Alexander Novak that was scheduled for July 4 has been postponed. Trying to find logic in the actions of Ukrainian government is getting harder day by day. After defaulting on its payments to Gazprom, Kiev now demands new discounts from the Russian company. Europe's energy independence from Russia is impossible in the short term, EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Wednesday, June 25, at a roundtable on EU energy security. However he reiterated Europe's position that the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline should be suspended until it was brought in line with the EU rules. The European Commission in November 2013 began studying the agreements signed by Russia and South European countries for the construction of the South Stream pipeline for their compliance with the Third Energy Package, which Russia has already contested in the World Trade Organisation. Ukraine proposes the EU to launch a pattern of grand reversed supplies of natural gas via Slovakia in the amount of up to 30 billion cubic meters a year, Yuriy Prodan, Ukraine’s Minister of Energy and Coalmines said Wednesday upon arrival in Brussels for a meeting with EU Energy Commissioner, Guenther Oettinger. Ukrainian Energy Minister to discuss reverse gas supply via Slovakia with EU's Oettinger in Brussels Hours before the beginning of Vladimir Putin's visit to Vienna, Austrian officials mounted a diplomatic offensive to support Gazprom's South Stream pipeline. South Stream is in the center of a massive conflict between the European Commission and a number of European countries, allied with Gazprom. Judging by their latest statements, top Austrian officials are firmly on the Russian side. Ukraine's Naftogaz expects three-party talks on gas with Russia and the European Commission (EC) to resume in July, the Ukrainian national oil and gas company's chief, Andrei Kobolev, told a press conference in Kiev. British Prime Minister David Cameron will force fellow EU leaders to vote on who should lead the bloc's executive if they are unwilling to consider a candidate other than Jean-Claude Juncker, reports dpa. The last round of negotiations between Gazprom and the Ukrainian government yielded no positive result. What will happen next, after Gazprom decided to pull the plug on its Ukrainian exports? The European Commission calls an emergency meeting of the Gas Coordination Group amid the failure of three-party negotiations on the gas issue between Russia and Ukraine with the mediation of the European Commission. An urgent round of gas negotiations between Russia and Ukraine is due to resume in Kiev at 7:00 pm (04:00 pm GMT) on Sunday, AFP reports. A source in Naftogaz confirmed this in a comment to Interfax. A spokeswoman for Ukraine's Naftogaz state energy company said the talks, mediated by EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger, would also include the two countries' energy ministers and Alexei Miller, the head of Russia's gas giant Gazprom. The Russophobes are celebrating! Bulgaria has caved in to the pressure from the US and the European Commission and halted the construction of South Stream. What's next for the biggest pipeline project of the Russian gas giant? Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he was perplexed by the European Commission's proposal on holding top-level negotiations between Russia and Ukraine on gas supply. Speaking to journalists on Thursday, Lavrov said he had heard about the European Commission's proposal on the matter. The European Commission has raised €500 million in aid to Ukraine as part of the macro-financial assistance program and will transfer the money to Kiev on June 17. Representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the European Commission (EC) will make yet another attempt in Brussels on Monday to reach an agreement on the repayment of Kiev's debt for gas and to determine a price for further deliveries. Neither is it ruled out that, on the sidelines, the EC and Russia might also discuss the situation concerning the South Stream gas pipeline, the construction of which was suspended on Sunday under strong pressure from Brussels and Washington. The new head of the biggest group of conservatives in the European Parliament dismissed on Saturday demands by British Prime Minister David Cameron to put the brakes on European integration. Despite all attempts to blackmail Gazprom into submission, the European Commission can't block the construction of the South Stream pipeline. The stakeholders of the pipeline, national governments and energy companies will do their best to thwart any attempt of stopping the project for the sake of American interests in Europe. Top news
