The European Commission will not seek a review of intergovernmental agreements with transit countries of the "South stream", has informed "sheets" referring to representatives of the Russian Ministry of energy and the European Commissioner for energy Gunther Oettinger. Back in December last year the European Commission considered that the intergovernmental agreement on South stream" with Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia are not appropriate European legislation and should be fully revised. The premise of the disagreement became the requirements of the Third energy package, the obligation to provide access to all pipelines other gas suppliers and prohibiting supplier of gas to control the pipelines and set tariffs. But in response Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovenia have a common position: the agreement with the Russian Federation at the moment of their conclusion in 2008-2009 meet the EU legislation. on January 17, the Russian energy Minister Alexander Novak and the European Commissioner Gunther Oettinger agreed to create a working group to discuss legal and technical issues of the plan. Speech on the revision of the governmental agreements on South stream" is not, the problem is that the gas pipeline could work normally under EU law, told Deputy energy Minister Anatoly Yanovsky. At the negotiations of the Oettinger in Moscow, the parties simply signalled disagreement and, it seems, did not even try to overcome them, compromise no 1 item, says "Kommersant". Guenther Oettinger has arrived for talks to 10 am from the plane, and in the hour of the day went back to Brussels. "The closest possible to achieve progress in the negotiations will be on the summit Russia-EU in Brussels on January 28, where the Russian delegation headed by President Vladimir Putin. But the summit will be held under the sign of cooling of relations between Moscow and Brussels, after last year's struggle for Ukraine. The event program proposed by the EU is already reduced to 1-day, and to reach an understanding on such a key issue as South Stream, it will be difficult, the newspaper writes.
