"Mr President, I would like to respond to Commissioner Dimas, who focused on political and economic issues, somewhat avoiding the question of the environment. We all know that Russia does not intend to comply with the mutuality principle as regards investment in the energy market. In the best case it will regulate access to its market, expelling, at any time, any European investor. For this reason the Nord Stream project strengthens Russia’s position economically and is harmful for Europe. We all know that Russia has no intention of stopping using energy as a tool for exerting political pressure. Today this is principally affecting Ukraine. Realisation of the Nord Stream project will mean that every European Union country will be similarly exposed to this type of pressure and could thus be blackmailed. We shall wait for the negative assessments of the Baltic countries to be taken into account in this matter. Commissioner Dimas can ignore these views. We may even finance this project from European funds. In that case please do not be surprised if more groups of European citizens turn their backs on the process of integration. Some will say that this project is of no interest to them, others, that it is harmful."@en1
