The European Commissioner Gunther Oettinger believes that the construction of the gas pipeline "South stream" will need to pause. This is done to bring the project in the ratio with all the generally accepted standards of the European Union. About its intention to suspend the construction of "South stream" the European Commissioner said during a round table on energy policy of the European Union. "Plan "South stream" should be temporarily stopped until full compliance with the legislation of the European Union," said Gunter Ettinger. The negotiations the European Commission with the Russian Federation about the conformity of the project "South stream" European Union law bп©я─п╣я─я▀п╡п╟п╩п╦я│я▄ earlier in consequence of the Russian appeals to the world trade organization on the Third energy package. The European Commissioner Gunther Oettinger calls for the suspension of work on the gas pipeline "South stream" not for political reasons. He expresses the opinion that the project must be first given in absolute compliance with the claims of the European Union, according to RIA Novosti. Previously, the construction of the South stream wanted to argue with political motives. Talking about the obstacles generated during the construction of the gas pipeline, the Russian President Vladimir Putin urged not to admix policy. It also suggested among other things that the construction of auxiliary gas pipeline will be advantageous for Russia and for Europe. Previously, the United States wanted to suspend the joint work of Russia and its international partners to build a fresh gas transportation network. Probably South American authorities see any danger that the Russian gas will be supplied to Europe, not only through the terrain of Ukraine. Now the European Commissioner called for a stop of works on this project. Melbourne Herald sun wrote earlier about the reaction of Vladimir Putin to the us attempt to block the construction of South stream. The Russian President said that the United States decide everything possible to derail the project "South stream". This is done because the United States is considered to be competitors of the Russian Federation on the European energy market. "They rivals. This is a common situation. And they do everything to ensure that this agreement be broken. Similarly as it was many decades ago. There's nothing unusual is simple competition. During this competition are applied and political means", - has told the head of Russia. Putin recalled that in 1962 the United States were against deliveries of Russian gas to Austria in the framework of the project "Gas in exchange for pipes". At the moment, taking into account the opinion of the President, there is a similar situation, with the only difference that the United States is going to enter the European gas market as an independent player. With all this, the President announced that the cost of liquefied shale gas in the United States can not be lower than the cost of Russian gas. Pipeline gas, according to its statement, will always cheaper than liquefied. The United States is very long production chain - after mining and processing of energy, they must bring it into a liquid state, and then to transport. Russian gas coming through the pipes to Europe, no additional scientific and technical procedures is not required.
