The pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corridor have been extensively discussed inside and outside the EU. After the different high-level summits in April and May, what is the current state of the several pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corridor? In the context of the Southern Gas Corridor, the position of Turkey as a transit country is crucial. Where are the negotiations on a transit regime going? What are the remaining obstacles to finding a solution acceptable to all parties involved?
Moreover, Azerbaijan as a potential supplier country is of uppermost importance for all pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corrido and already makes an important contribution to the security of oil and gas markets. What lessons can be learnt and how is the position of Azerbaijan evolving in the context of current development in the region?
This meeting further develops on the outcomes & findings of earlier roundtable discussions held by the Energy Program of Ifri and the Clingendael International Energy Program, like most recently Ifri's Annual Conference "Investing in Europe's Energy Future" in Brussels or Clingendael's "Energy in SE-Europe" conference in the Hague.
