Worker CEPS gas sector of Russia until not threaten punishment EU
Maria Knyazeva. The gas sector of Russia until not threaten punishment EU due to the high dependence of Europe on Russian gas, although in the long run punishment possible. This opinion was expressed Last news energy specialist at the Centre for European studies (CEPS) Arno Behrens.
" I think this is a common understanding that the gas until not subject to death, " he said. Behrens considers it possible that in the future the European Union may impose restrictive measures against the gas sector of Russia." on this stage, I think, the goal was to say that the energy market itself can now get under the punishment of the EU, which has never happened before, " said the expert.
EU introduces against Russia economic punishment, for example, against the long-term development of the Oil industry. Manufacturers EU will not be allowed to export to the Russian Federation technologies and equipment for deep-sea oil, work in Artik and projects in the field of shale oil. When this gas sector completely excluded from the scope of the sanctions of the EU.
Behrens reminded that the Russian Federation is the largest supplier of oil and gas to the EU. While Europe is increasingly dependent on gas from Russia than from oil, gas market remains closed (i.e., the EU is unlikely to succeed quickly find other suppliers instead of Russian).
" The oil market is global, whereas the gas market is highly regional. Another thing - Russia in the field of gas has much more ties with the EU, and the EU is more ties with Russia. Any punishment in this part would be quite dangerous for the EU itself, " said Behrens.
The US and the EU does not recognize the annexation of Crimea to Russia and accused Moscow of interfering in Ukraine. Russia denies it and called such accusations are unacceptable. Western countries since March, has repeatedly imposed punishment on a number of Russian politicians, businessmen and organizations and threatened to make wider restrictive measures. The last case of use of such practices have become July punishment.
