Poland reiterates support for Nabucco project

Poland is backing the Nabucco gas pipeline, designed to transport gas from the Caspian region and the Middle East to the EU countries, but building interconnectors between countries to help one another during a supply crisis is key for Europe’s energy security, New Europe reported according to Poland’s top diplomat.

“We support Nabucco,” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told New Europe in Strasbourg. Sikorski paid a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg to present the state of play of the preparations for Poland’s Presidency in the EU Council.

According to Sikorski, Poland is the country which has concluded the first agreement with an external supplier on energy based on the Third Energy Package.

«Europe as a whole has energy supplies from three directions but we need to build the physical interconnectors and the legal basis so we can help one another in a crisis so nothing that resembles the gas crisis of two years ago happens», Sikorski said.
