Ec Gains Wider Turkmenistan Mou

摘要

EU energy commissioner Andris Piebalgs signed a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation with Turkmenistan's president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, during a visit to Turkmenistan on May 26. The EC hailed it as the start of a dialogue on energy with an important supplier, following the external relations commissioner's meeting with Berdymukhammedov in mid-April. Benita Ferrero-Waldner secured then the promise of 10 billion cubic meters/year from the central Asian republic, starting some time after 2009.
