committed to supply natural gas to the European Union in the long term as part
of an agreement signed with the European Commission, but no export volumes were
mentioned, the EU's executive said Friday.
Iraq
is
one of the potential sources of gas on which the EU is focusing to diversify
its supplies away from
Russia
and
open a direct pipeline link to the Caspian and the
Middle
East
, called Southern Corridor.
According to the deal, signed Thursday night by Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq
Hussain al-Shahristani and European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger, the
commission and the Iraqi government will "jointly identify the export gas
volumes to the world market, including through the Southern gas corridor to the
EU."
