ЕС стремится договориться с Азербайджаном и Туркменистаном по строительству Транскаспийского трубопровода.

Европейский союз принял мандат на ведение переговоров по юридически обязывающему договору между ЕС, Азербайджаном и Туркменистаном по строительству Транскаспийской трубопроводной системы. Это первый случай, когда Европейский союз предложил договор в поддержку инфраструктурных проектов.

27 стран-членов ЕС поручили Еврокомиссии вести переговоры по Договору от их имени.

Это решение последовало сразу после визита президента Жозе Мануэля Баррозу и Комиссара по энергетике Гюнтера Эттингера в Баку и Ашхабад в январе 2011 года и их встреч с президентами Алиевым и Бердымухамедовым. Это является важной вехой в реализации Южного коридора, и является первым оперативным решением в рамках скоординированной и единой внешней энергетической стратегии, объявленной Европейским Союзом в начале месяца.

Комиссар по энергетике Эттингер заявил, что: "Европа сейчас говорит одним голосом. Транскаспийский трубопровод является одним из основных проектов в Южном коридоре, по новым источникам поставок газа в Европу. У нас есть намерение добиться этого как можно скорее..."

Соглашение по Транс-Каспийскому трубопроводу создаст основу для строительства трубопровода по дну Каспийского моря, соединяющего Туркменистан с Азербайджаном, и в свою очередь свяжет этот трубопровод с инфраструктурой, которая будет доставлять газ из Центральной Азии в ЕС.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
