"Mr President, the Black Sea region is of geostrategic significance, particularly to energy security and diversification of the EU’s sources and energy supply routes, thanks to its proximity to the Caspian Sea, Middle East and Central Asia.
Following the accession of Romania and Bulgaria, the European Union should become an important player in terms of international relations in the region. As rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy on a European Union Black Sea strategy, I have highlighted the European added value and the significance of the Southern Gas Corridor as a means of improving the EU’s supply security. I think that projects such as the Nabucco gas pipeline, along with the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, the Pan-European Oil Pipeline (PEOP)
the Turkey-Greece-Italy Interconnector or the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector, emphasise both the particular importance of the EU’s commitments in the Black Sea region and the further need to step up cooperation between the countries around the Black Sea.
We call on the Commission to make the Black Sea region a higher priority and develop a European Union strategy for the Black Sea, accompanied by an action plan."@en1
