Title Evaluation of the Nord stream and Caspian gas infrastructure and procurement projects in the context of the European Union internal market policy and need for energy security
Summary This thesis analyses two major natural gas projects in the EU, namely Nord Stream and plans to bring natural gas from the Caspian Sea Basin. It analyses these projects in the context of the EU’s internal energy market and need for energy security. Major shortcomings of these projects are identified, such as low level of supply diversification of the Nord Stream and small scale of the Caspian gas project. The thesis also highlights the complex effects of these projects on the competition in the internal natural gas market. The thesis makes final policy proposals devised to help the European Union to maximize its interests in energy security and not to undermine the process of creation of the internal energy market.
