The European Commission (EC) welcomed the construction of the "Nord stream" through which gas will be supplied directly to Germany And other Western European countries, stated the Minister of foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siarto. at the same time the EC has criticized South stream, which would be beneficial for small member countries of the European Union, occupying the advantageous position in gas transit from Russia, said Szijj?rt? in the interview to television channel " Russia 24 ", transfers news Agency. According to Siarto, the EC is very critical with respect to South stream. Now, however, ardent opponents of its construction, "not so loudly opposed the" Nord stream ". This is because this project involves large organizations from Russia And Western Europe, said the head of the Ministry." And we have the impression that, perhaps due to the fact that the Balkan countries are not as big And not as influential members of the EU, our Project has the ability to be cancelled and another Project criticized less because it involves major players, " said Szijj?rt?. The main argument criticizing the "South stream" was the fact that the pipeline was planned to build bypassing Ukraine. But the "North stream" will bypass Ukraine, not only from the South and from the North, showed the head of the Ministry." There is no difference. This is a very good example of double standards in the European Union ", - he finished. Szijj?rt? also said that 85 percent of Hungary's gas supplies from Russia. Fuel transit through the territory of Ukraine." We are aware that Russia has a desire to close this channel of transit through Ukraine, And It is a great challenge for us, as the Project " South stream ", unfortunately, will not be implemented, " he said. 1 December 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country cannot due to the unconstructive position of the EU to continue implementation of the " South stream ". At the same time, Moscow And Ankara agreed about construction of the sea gas pipeline to Turkey And the establishment of the boundary line with Greece's gas hub for customers in southern Europe. The European Commission has repeatedly stated that the strategy of energy security of the EU implies the suspension of the project " South stream ". For example, in June, said the Commissioner of the European Commission Sabina Berger. The project "Turkish stream" involves the construction of a gas pipeline from Russian Federation to Turkey through the Black sea. It was expected that the pipeline will consist of 4 threads on fifteen, 75 billion cubic meters of gas each
