"Madam President, in light of the commercial and energy security potential of Central Asia and the interest shared by the countries of Central Asia and the European Union in diversifying export routes and cooperating on energy and environmental sustainability, I support the need to develop strategies associated with the EU’s programmes and strategies in the Caucasus and Black Sea regions.
The countries in the Caspian region and the Middle East, such as Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, have the largest natural gas deposits in the world. I should emphasise the importance of the Nabucco project, which will ensure the transport of gas from the Caspian Sea region, Central Asia and the Middle East to the European Union. This project will contribute to the European Union’s energy security.
There are 3.5 billion people living in countries rich in oil, gas and minerals. Good governance in utilising these resources can generate substantial incomes so as to boost economic growth and reduce poverty. This is why I support the signing of long-term supply agreements targeting the principles of environmental sustainability, as well as the initiative on transparency in the mining industries, aimed at consolidating governance by improving transparency and accountability in the mining industries."@en1
