1News.az: Акционеры TAP и члены консорциума «Шах-Дениз» подписали соглашение

БАКУ, 23 янв - 1NEWS.AZ

Между акционерами Трансадриатического трубопровода (TAP) - Axpo, Statoil и E.ON и членами консорциума «Шах-Дениз» (SOCAR, BP и Total) заключено акционерное соглашение.

Как передает 1news.az со ссылкой на официальный сайт TAP, в соглашении оговорены условия управления TAP расширенной группой акционеров в составе Statoil, E.ON, Axpo, SOCAR, BP и Total.

Предусматривается, что соглашение вступит в силу сразу, как только TAP будет выбран акционерами «Шах-Дениз» в качестве маршрута транспортировки азербайджанского газа в Европу. Акционерам будет принадлежать 50% участия.


Трансадриатический трубопровод (TAP) протяженностью 520 км предназначен для транспортировки газа из Каспийского региона и с Ближнего Востока в Европу. Газопровод будет начинаться в Греции, пройдет через территорию Албании и Адриатическое море в Италию и далее в Западную Европу. Проект направлен на повышение безопасности поставок и диверсификацию поставок газа на европейские рынки.

TAP откроет новый так называемый Южный газовый коридор в Европу и обеспечит рынки сбыта для природного газа из региона Каспийского моря и Ближнего Востока. Проект предназначен для повышения возможностей транспортировки с 10 до 20 млрд. кубометров в год в зависимости от пропускной способности. В рамках проекта TAP также предусматривается расширение возможностей хранения природного газа в Албании, чтобы гарантировать безопасность поставок в течение плановых остановок поставок газа.

Проект TAP поддерживается Евросоюзом, который относит TAP к числу трансъевропейских транспортных магистралей в соответствии со своей энергетической политикой. Еврокомиссия отнесла проект к разряду соединительных трубопроводов ЕС. Дальнейшая реализация проекта TAP будет осуществляться в соответствии с политикой ЕС в сфере транспортировки газа.

Ожидается, что консорциум «Шах-Дениз» примет окончательное решение о выборе маршрута транспортировки азербайджанского газа в Европу в середине 2013 года.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
