I have problems the second paragraph (see my re-worked version in the edited draft in diary). On one hand, the Green Paper lists the "Southern Gas Corridor" as a prority project, and even if needed, do you think new (or bi-directionalised?) East-West gas connections should be such? On the other hand, do you think there is a real need here -- that is, aren't gas reserves sufficient even when Ukraine and Russland have a longer spat?
