EU welcomes ratification of TANAP agreement by Azerbaijani Parliament

23 November 2012
EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger has welcomed the ratification of the agreement on TANAP by the Parliament of Azerbaijan.

A statement released by the EU says:

"This Decision to ratify the TANAP agreement shows the concrete determination of Azerbaijan to bring its gas to Europe. This pipeline will mean that gas is brought to Europe’s border, to then freely circulate within the European Union. It is a pleasure to welcome Azerbaijan, and more especially SOCAR, to the European Union’s energy market."

The Azerbaijani Parliament ratified the agreement on 20 November.
