EC pushes Baltic governments to reach consensus

摘要

The European Commission will not help finance an import terminal unless all Baltic States are able to reach an agreement, Steel-Guru reported July 21, citing a story by Interfax. "If there is no agreement for the three Baltic countries, nothing will happen. The European Union will not provide cofinancing. The main idea for this terminal is reducing Latvia and other Baltic countries' dependence on the Russian energy system. But I again want to stress that all three countries should participate. If each hogs the covers, nothing will happen," said Commission Head Inna Steinbuka.
