Sefcovic also said that the European Commission established a special high-level group which develops gas transportation systems in central and southeastern Europe. First results of the group`s work will be presented in June 2015, Sefcovic said.
In late 2014, Russia announced decision to cancel South Stream project. Russian energy giant Gazprom said the move was due to the European Commission’s claims that construction of the pipeline would violate EU anti-monopoly laws.
The South Stream will be replaced with the Turkish Stream pipeline, which would deliver gas to a hub on the Turkish-Greek border for further distribution to consumers in southern Europe.
