Gas row shows EU must seek other sources: Germany
PRAGUE |
PRAGUE (Reuters) - The gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine shows the urgent need for Europe to further diversify its energy sources, a senior German official said on Thursday after a meeting of EU ministers on the crisis.
"I think it became clear, and there is agreement on this, that of course there must continue to be energy supplies from Russia but that on the other hand, other regions are needed to ensure security of (European) energy supplies," German Europe Minister Guenter Gloser told reporters in Prague.
"Also of course the Nord Stream project must be an important part of that diversification of energy sources," he added of a project to bring Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea which is resisted by other countries in the region.
