据俄罗斯油气网3月1日布鲁塞尔报道，据阿塞拜疆《趋势》网站报道，欧盟和土库曼斯坦在2月26日举行了联合委员会第18次会议。

联合委员会审查了去年欧盟和土库曼斯坦之间合作取得的进展。欧盟向土库曼斯坦伙伴通报了即将通过的欧盟中亚新战略的筹备工作。

土库曼斯坦提供了国内能源发展的最新情况，包括土库曼斯坦-阿富汗-巴基斯坦-印度(TAPI)天然气管道建设的进展和能源效率问题。双方评估了土库曼斯坦向欧盟输送天然气的潜力。

会议由欧洲对外行动处俄罗斯、东欧伙伴关系、中亚、区域合作和欧安组织国家司司长吕克·德维涅作为欧盟代表团团长主持。土库曼斯坦代表团由土库曼斯坦财政和经济部长巴扎罗夫率领。

欧盟和土库曼斯坦承诺执行一项旨在将土库曼斯坦的碳氢化合物能源输送欧洲市场的项目。谈判自2011年以来一直在进行。

沿里海海底铺设一条300公里长的通往阿塞拜疆陆上的天然气管道项目是向欧洲市场输送土库曼斯坦天然气的最佳方案。此外，土库曼斯坦的天然气可以运送到与欧洲国家接壤的土耳其。

Brussels assesses potential for Turkmen gas deliveries to EU

Neftegaz.RU. The EU and Turkmenistan held their 18th meeting of the Joint Committee on February 26, Trend reported with reference to the EU website.

The Joint Committee reviewed the progress made last year between the EU and Turkmenistan. The EU informed Turkmen partners about the preparations for the new EU Strategy on Central Asia, to be adopted soon.

Turkmenistan provided an update on domestic energy developments including the progress of the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline and energy efficiency issues. The sides assessed the potential for Turkmen gas deliveries to the EU.

The meeting was chaired by Luc Devigne, director for Russia, Eastern Partnership, Central Asia, Regional Cooperation and OSCE countries of the European External Action Service, as the head of the EU delegation. The delegation of Turkmenistan was led by Batyr Bazarov, minister of finance and economy of Turkmenistan.

The EU and Turkmenistan are committed to implementing a project designed to bring Turkmen hydrocarbon energy carriers to European markets. The negotiations have been underway since 2011.

The project of laying a 300-km gas pipeline along the bottom of the Caspian Sea to the shores of Azerbaijan is optimal for the delivery of Turkmen gas to the European market. Further, the Turkmen gas can be delivered to Turkey, which borders with European countries.
