Un articol ce dateaza din luna noiembrie anul trecut : Troika Iran-Qatar-Rusia - 60% din resursele mondiale de gazАлексей Миллер. Полная версия интервью главы ОАО «Газпром» телеканалу «1 канал»

Алексей Миллер

Полная версия интервью главы ОАО «Газпром» Алексея Миллера телеканалу «1 канал», программа «Время».

А.Б. МИЛЛЕР: Россия, Иран и Катар приняли решение о создании «большой газовой тройки». Это решение продиктовано логикой развития газового рынка. Газовый рынок становится все более и более глобальным. Это связано с тем, что развиваются технологии производства сжиженного природного газа, и СПГ все большую долю начинает играть на мировом рынке. СПГ позволяет доставлять его на очень отдаленные от места добычи рынки – это десятки тысяч километров. И конечно все то, что происходит в части глобализации, оно находит отражение в диалоге основных стран производителей. И решение о создании «тройки» – это абсолютно логичное решение с учетом того, что России, Ирану и Катару вместе принадлежит около 60% мировых запасов. И также надо отметить, что в основе этого трехстороннего диалога лежат, в первую очередь, совместные трехсторонние проекты. Речь идет о том, что три страны будут работать над совместными проектами по всей газовой цепочке от геологоразведки, добычи до распределения и маркетинга газа...

НАК «Нафтогаз Украины» требует от ОАО «Газпром» и ОАО «Молдовагаз» возобновить предыдущую согласованную схему отбора газа для Республики Молдова 05.01.2009, 16:00:08 Потребители Республики Молдова по непонятным причинам и без согласования с ДК «Укртрансгаз» НАК «Нафтогаз Украины», начиная из 1 января 2009 года, начали потребление природного газа практически в полном объеме из транзитного газопровода «Ананьев-Тирасполь-Измаил», который частично проходит по территориии республики Молдова.Таким образом, суммарная подача природного газа в южном направлении странам Балканского региона – Румынии, Болгарии, Турции, Греции и Македонии - была уменьшена на соответствующий объем – около 10 млн. куб. метров в сутки.

Указанные совместные действия ОАО «Газпром» и его дочерней компании ОАО «Молдовагаз» вносят дестабилизацию в обеспечение стран Балканского региона природным газом и приводят к необоснованным обвинениям украинской стороны как транзитера российского газа.

НАК «Нафтогаз Украины» требует от ОАО «Газпром» соответствующего указания ОАО «Молдовагаз» возобновить предыдущую согласованную схему отбора газа для Республики Молдова из штатных направлений.

В то же время, НАК «Нафтогаз Украины» в который раз напоминает, что в связи с отсутствием в 2009 году «Технического соглашения», которое регламентирует транзит российского природного газа по территории Украины, надежная работа газотранспортных систем может обеспечиваться в оперативном режиме при согласованности действий диспетчерских подразделений ОАО «Газпром» и ДК «Укртрансгаз».

ДК «Укртрансгаз» готова принимать природный газ на границе Российская Федерация – Украина по транзитным газопроводам при равномерной их загруженности, в том числе по газопроводу «Уренгой – Н.Псков» в объеме не меньше 65 млн. куб. метров на сутки.

Внезапные и не согласованные изменения объемов подачи газа на территорию Украины со стороны ОАО «Газпром» являются невыполнением российской стороной своих контрактных обязательств перед европейскими партнерами.

1. Consiliul European este preocupat la modul cel mai serios de conflictul deschis care a izbucnit în Georgia, de violent ele pe care acesta le-a antrenat si de react ia dispropor tionată a Rusiei. Acest conflict a provocat mari suferint e de ambele părt i. Astfel de act iuni militare nu reprezintă o solu tie si nu sunt acceptabile. Consiliul European deplânge pierderile de vie ti omenesti, suferint ele cauzate popula tiei, numărul persoanelor strămutate sau refugiate si pagubele materiale considerabile.2. Consiliul European condamnă cu fermitate decizia unilaterală a Rusiei de a recunoaste independent a Abhaziei si a Ose itei de Sud. Această decizie este inacceptabilă si Consiliul European face apel la celelalte state să nu recunoască aceste independent e proclamate si solicită Comisiei să examineze consecint ele concrete care decurg din aceasta. Consiliul European reaminteste că o solu ie pasnică si durabilă pentru conflictele din Georgia trebuie să se bazeze pe respectul deplin al principiilor independent ei, suveranităt ii si integrităt ii teritoriale recunoscute de dreptul internat ional, de Actul Final al Conferin tei de la Helsinki pentru securitate si cooperare în Europa si de rezolut iile Consiliului de Securitate al Organizat iei Na tiunilor Unite.3. Consiliul European subliniază că fiecare stat din Europa are dreptul de a decide în mod liber politica sa externă si aliant ele sale, cu respectarea dreptului international si a principiilor de bună vecinătate si de cooperare pasnică. De asemenea, este legitim să fie luate în considerare interesele de securitate ale fiecăruia, cu condit ia respectării principiilor fundamentale ale integrităt ii teritoriale si independent ei statelor.4. Consiliul European salută faptul că acordul în sase puncte încheiat la 12 august pe baza eforturilor de mediere ale Uniunii Europene a avut ca rezultat încetarea focului, mai buna distribuire a ajutorului umanitar către victime, precum si o retragere substan tială a for telor militare ruse. Punerea în aplicarea a acestui plan trebuie încheiată. Consiliul European solicită părt ilor să continue punerea în aplicare integrală si de bună credin ă a acordului pe care l-au acceptat. For tele militare care nu s-au retras încă pe liniile anterioare declansării ostilităt ilor trebuie să o facă fără întârziere. În plus fa tă de asisten ta pentru victime, în prezent este urgentă elaborarea mecanismului internat ional de supraveghere, la care Uniunea este gata să participe, prevăzut la punctul (5) din acord, pentru a înlocui măsurile suplimentare de securitate ale Rusiei în zonele învecinate Ose tiei de Sud. Este urgentă, de asemenea, deschiderea discut iilor internationale prevăzute la punctul (6) din acord privind măsurile de securitate si stabilitate în Abhazia si în Ose tia de Sud.5. Uniunea Europeană este gata să îsi asume angajamentul, inclusiv prin prezent a pe teren, pentru sust inerea tuturor eforturilor, în vederea identificării unei solu tii pasnice si durabile pentru conflictele din Georgia. În acest scop, statele membre ale Uniunii Europene contribuie în mod semnificativ la consolidarea misiunii de observare a OSCE din Oset ia de Sud, prin trimiterea de observatori si prin contributii materiale si financiare substan iale. Uniunea Europeană a decis, de asemenea, trimiterea imediată a unei misiuni de anchetă având ca sarcină culegerea de informat ii si precizarea modalităt ilor pentru un angajament consolidat al Uniunii Europene pe teren, în temeiul politicii europene de securitate si apărare. Consiliul European invită instant ele competente ale Consiliului să ducă la îndeplinire ansamblul lucrărilor pregătitoare necesare pentru ca o eventuală decizie de angajare a unei astfel de misiuni de observare să poată fi adoptată de către Consiliu începând cu 15 septembrie, în funct ie de evolut ia situat iei si în strânsă coordonare cu OSCE si cu Organiza ia Na tiunilor Unite. În acest scop, Consiliul European solicită presedintelui Consiliului si SG/ÎR să desfăsoare toate contactele si lucrările necesare.6. Uniunea Europeană a furnizat deja un ajutor de urgen ă. Aceasta este dispusă să ofere un ajutor pentru reconstruc tie în Georgia, inclusiv în zonele Ose iei de Sud si Abhaziei. Uniunea este pregătită să sprijine măsuri de consolidare a încrederii si dezvoltarea cooperării regionale.Aceasta decide, de asemenea, să examineze consolidarea rela tiei sale cu Georgia, inclusiv prin intermediul facilitării vizelor si prin eventuala implementare a unei zone de liber schimb complete si aprofundate, imediat ce condit iile vor fi întrunite. Uniunea Europeană va lua ini iativa întrunirii într-un termen scurt a unei conferin e interna ionale în scopul sprijinirii reconstruc tiei Geogiei si solicită Consiliului si Comisiei să demareze pregătirile pentru aceasta.7. Consiliul European ia notă cu îngrijorare de impactul crizei actuale asupra întregii regiuni.Uniunea Europeană consideră că este mai necesar decât oricând să sprijine cooperarearegională si să consolideze relat iile pe care le întret ine cu tările vecine din est, în special prin intermediul politicii de vecinătate, al dezvoltării „sinergiei Mării Negre” si al unui „parteneriat estic” pe care Consiliul European doreste să îl adopte în martie 2009. În acest scop, acesta invită Comisia să prezinte propuneri începând cu decembrie 2008. În acest context, Consiliul European subliniază importanta viitoarei reuniuni la nivel înalt dintre Uniunea Europeană si Ucraina din 9 septembrie.8. Consiliul European decide numirea unui reprezentant special al Uniunii Europene pentru criza din Georgia si solicită Consiliului să ia măsurile necesare în acest scop.9. Evenimentele recente ilustrează necesitatea ca Europa să-si intensifice eforturile în materie de securitate a aprovizionării cu energie. Consiliul European invită Consiliul, în cooperare cu Comisia, să examineze ini tiativele de întreprins în acest scop, în special în domeniul diversificării surselor de energie si a căilor de aprovizionare.10. Criza din Georgia situează rela tia dintre UE si Rusia într-un punct de răscruce. Consiliul European consideră că, dată fiind interdependen ta dintre Uniunea Europeană si Rusia, precum si problemele globale cu care acestea sunt confruntate, nu există alternative dezirabile la o relat ie solidă, întemeiată pe cooperare, pe încredere si dialog, pe respectarea statului de drept si a principiilor recunoscute prin Carta Organiza iei Na iunilor Unite si de OSCE. Acesta este motivul pentru care am lansat, în luna iulie, negocierea unui nou acord-cadru între Uniune si Rusia.11. Facem apel la Rusia să facă, împreună cu noi, această alegere fundamentală a interesului reciproc, a în elegerii si a cooperării. Suntem convinsi că este chiar în interesul său să nu se izoleze de Europa. Uniunea Europeană, la rândul său, s-a arătat dispusă la parteneriat si la cooperare, cu respectarea principiilor si valorilor care o animă. Asteptăm din partea Rusiei un comportament responsabil, fidel ansamblului angajamentelor acesteia. Uniunea Europeană îsi va păstra vigilenta; Consiliul European solicită Consiliului ca, împreună cu Comisia, să examineze cu aten tie si în profunzime situa tia si diferitele dimensiuni ale rela tiei UE-Rusia; această evaluare va trebui demarată acum si continuată în special în perspectiva viitoarei reuniuni la nivel înalt prevăzută pentru 14 noiembrie la Nisa.

Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), met today with Prime Minister of Georgia, Lado GURGENIDZE. After the meeting Mr SOLANA made the following remarks to the convened journalists: "The situation today is clear. Georgia is a country whose territorial integrity has been breached and there is tremendous damage on the ground as concerns people, property, etc and it is our obligation to help. We want to help the people in Georgia. We have also already made very clear statements on the recognition issue - we are against...

Acum citeva zile avusesem o discutie cu un vechi prieten din Statele Unite pe tema transnistreana in contextul evenimentelor de ultima ora din Georgia, reactia conducerii de la Kiev, dar si a vizitei « planificate » a lui Voronin de « lustruire a papucilor presedintelui rus Medvedev » cu 2 zile inainte de aniversarea Independentei RM botezata de catre comunistii de la Chisinau « ziua republicii ».Constatari amare …Independenta Moldovei nu numai ca e pusa sub semnul intrebarii de catre majoritatea actorilor din regiune, nemaivorbind de marile puteri, dar mai e si batjocorita in ultimul timp de catre conducerea actuala.Evenimentele din Caucaz, desi se petrec la o distanta indepartata din punct de vedere geografic de RM, au un impact direct asupra evolutiei perspectivei de existenta a RM ca stat.In mod implicit ar trebui sa ne aducem aminte cu cita ardoare conducerea de la Chisinau trimbita necesitatea recunoasterii internationale a neutralitatii RM, fiind considerata drept temelie a existentei Republicii Moldova, doleanta care nu a prea fost inteleasa de catre vecinii sai, fiind neglijata de catre majoritatea actorilor regionali.Haideti sa incercam sa privim inca o data harta politica a Europei si locul pe care il avem noi pe acest continent. RM este un stat enclava cu un conflict « inghetat » pe teritoriul sau avind drept vecini : Romania, stat membru al Uniunii europene, membru NATO, si Ucraina, tara vecina cu Rusia, ce tinde sa obtina in decembrie anul curent statutul de tara candidat NATO.Pe de o parte, statutul de tara candidata i-ar permite NATO un control important asupra evolutiei situatiei militare in zona bazinului marii negre, dar si a evolutiilor politice si economice din Ucraina.Republica Moldova impreuna cu Transnistria, potrivit acestui prim scenariu ar putea fi « digerata » de catre politicile NATO si UE pe parcursul a citorva ani.Pe de alta parte, schimbul dur de replici intre Ucraina si Rusia in privinta utilizarii flotei militare stationate in Crimeia incita tot mai mult la specularea diferitor scenarii de destabilizare a stuatiei politice din Ucraina dat fiind situatia problematica din Crimeia si a regiunii Donbasului locuita cu preponderenta de o populatie de origine rusa cu un pasaport rus « in buzunar ».Perspectiva repetarii scenariului evenimentelor din Caucaz de asta data in regiunile din Ucraina ar putea deveni tot mai realista. Din pacate Moldova, Ucraina dar si Belorusia nu pot sa se debaraseze de statutul de zona tampon pe care Rusia reuseste prin diferite mijloace pe care le are la dispozitie, inclusiv « arma gazului » sa o controleze, satisfacindu-si intr-o masura oarecare statutul de « putere regionala », Politica Europeana de vecinatate permitindu-i cu usurinta acest lucru.Tot mai mult si mai mult tema reaparitiei « razboiului rece » este vehiculata in presa europeana. Moldova din pacate reprezinta datorita existentei conflictului transnistrean o parte a « frontului de lupta » intre occident si « imperiul rus », care ramine tot mai izolat in ultimul timp.Ar fi naiv din partea noastra sa negam existenta unei rivalitati tot mai evidente intre partile evocate ca urmare a « procesului de trezire a ursului siberian », care poate fi interpretata si drept « acutizare a unei stari avansate de ebrietate a acestuia » pe fonul « seringii gazului si a petrolului ».O buna parte de experti militari ar fi de parerea ca operatia militara efectuata de catre fortele armate ruse pe teritoriul georgian ar fi necesitat cel putin o luna de pregatiri. Occidentul in persoana Uniunii Europene si in consecinta, politica europeana de vecinatate din pacate nu a fost in stare sa previna escaladarea conflictului in Caucaz. Conducerea de la Tbilisi le-a oferit cu prea mare usurinta rusilor posibilitatea de a se reafima pe scena internationala.PEV-l are deficiente serioase la acest capitol si ar trebui sa sufere schimbari. Anume in acest context de criza, presedintele Frantei, Nicolas Sarkozy convoaca de urgenta pt. luni 1 septembrie Consiliul european.La cerinta tarilor baltice si a Poloniei, Consiliul european este pus inca o data intr-o situatie de incercare, Uniunea Europeana fiind « obligata » de aceasta data sa ia niste decizii energice in numele celor 27 de tari membre.In consecinta, PEV ar trebui sa-si reevalueze instrumentele de actiune cu scopul de a obtine o rentabilitate marita a influientei sale.UE este pusa in situatia de a schimba accentele in cadrul PEV si ar putea in numele asigurarii unei stabilitati confortabile la hotarele sale sa recunoasca perspectiva europeana si implicit statutul de candidat potential al UE al Ucrainei dar si altor tari din regiune acordindu-le treptat statutul de tari asociate.

Sarkozy convoaca un summit UE pe tema conflictului din CaucazCAN THE EU WINTHE PEACE IN GEORGIA?Nicu Popescu, Mark Leonard and Andrew Wilson...The EU should also make a special commitment to Ukraine: It should recognise its right to EU membership in the future, agree to a more liberal visa regime, offer a solidarity clause backing Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and move to integrate Ukraine into the EU’s energy market....

Лавров, глядя на кадры CNN, улыбается: "Мне понятно их замешательство, они все поставили на Грузию, и вот результат..." Время выбрано удачно: выдохшаяся администрация Буша, Германия, парализованная своей шаткой коалицией, Италия, возглавляемая клоуном, Англия с призрачным премьер-министром... Остается Франция, незамедлительно отреагировавшая, но вызвавшая тревогу на Востоке, признав за Кремлем право на "защиту русскоговорящего населения за своими пределами": Прибалтика и Украина примут к сведению...

- De ce dolarul scade, iar leul creşte?

- Dolarul aleargă mult şi slăbeşte, iar leul stă pe loc şi se îngraşă!

Pînă la începutul anului 2008, CEDO a condamnat R.Moldova în 111 dosare, iar alte 66 mai sînt pe rol.Conform deciziilor CEDO s-au plătit despăgubiri de circa 2 mln. euro.Datele curţii europene arată că, în 2007, la fiecare 57 mii de locuitori ai Moldovei a revenit o condamnare la CEDO, astfel, republica fiind lider după numărul de condamnări pe cap de locuitor.

Mai jos gasiti o stire referitoare la declaratiile Dlui Mizsei.Nimic iesit din comun. Atita doar ca --- Mizsei a propus Kievului să ajute Chişinăul în dezvoltarea economică si... să-l consulte în domeniul integrării europene, oferind "un exemplu bun vecinilor din Europa de Est"!!!Aceasta declaratie, confirma inca o data impotenta actualului Ministru de externe de la Chisinau, dar si a guvernarii actuale, de a face un salt calitativ in relatiile noastre cu UE.Chisinaul nu face decit sa mimeze "integrarea europeana", si argumentul in acest sens este ca Ucraina, o tara mult mai mare decit Moldova, si cu mult mai multe probleme de ordin intern, reuseste sa fie cu citiva pasi, cel putin la nivel diplomatic, inaintea RM la capitolul INTEGRARE EUROPEANA.Sintem de fapt umiliti prin asa gen de afirmatii, fondate pe inactiunea si incapacitatea MAEIE-lui de a duce o politica eficace in relatiile noastre cu UE.UE AŞTEAPTĂ DE LA UCRAINA O IMPLICARE MAI PUTERNICĂ ÎN REGLEMENTAREA TRANSNISTREANĂ Chişinău, 27 iunie ( INFOTAG ). Bruxellesul aşteaptă de la Kiev o implicare activă în reglementarea transnistreană. "Ucraina deţine posibilităţi specifice, inclusiv aspecte istorice, contacte stabilite, pe care ar putea să le aplice pentru rezolvarea conflictului transnistrean", a declarat, joi, într-o conferinţă de presă la Kiev, Kalman Mizsei, Reprezentantul Special al Uniunii Europeane în R.Moldova.Agenţia INFOTAG transmite cu referire la presa ucraineană că Mizsei a propus Kievului să ajute Chişinăul în dezvoltarea economică, să-l consulte în domeniul integrării europene, oferind "un exemplu bun vecinilor din Europa de Est". Totodată, reprezentantul UE a subliniat că aşteaptă de la mediatorii, observatorii procesului de negocieri şi părţile implicate "nu planuri concrete şi reciproce" de implementare, ci înţelegere reciprocă, afirmînd că este important să se ţină cont de diferite aspecte ale rezolvării conflictului transnistrean.Oficialul a accentuat că trebuie reluat procesul de negocieri în formula "5+2" în vederea identificării soluţiei unice pentru conflict, care "este foarte actuală pentru UE, întrucăt se află aproape de hotarele acesteia". "Un aspect de reglementare important este stabilirea unui dialog constructiv între Rusia şi Uniunea Europeană", a afirmat Kalman Muzsei.
