The European Commission,
Poland
and
Russia
might
reach an agreement on natural gas supplies, and the rules to run a gas
pipeline, in the next ten days, although there are still some elements of
concern, a commission spokeswoman said Monday.
"We think that in the next ten day there will be another meeting where
hopefully we either come to an agreement, or we are very close to it." Marlene
Holzner, spokeswoman for Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said during a
routine press briefing.
However, she added some elements of the potential accord are not yet in line
with European Union legislation.
The commission said last month it is examining a proposed natural gas contract
between
Poland
and
Russia
that
includes provisions on how a pipeline across
Poland
--which
is called Yamal and carries Russian gas to
Germany
--would
be run.
The commission is concerned that the accord wouldn't comply with European Union
rules, mainly because it would not let third parties freely access and use the
pipeline.
