Remember, the European Parliament, September 18, tried to convince the European Union to cancel the planned Treaty with Russia, such as the construction of the gas pipeline " South stream ". The essence of the complaint by the EC is the requirement for the operator of the " South stream " to reserve part of its capacity to pump gas independent organizations in the European Union, in Accordance with the provisions of the 3rd energy package, which was designed specifically for crushing and undermine the influence of major energy companies in the European market.
