the energy security of Europe at the top of its priorities.
Addressing the "European Gas Policy Forum 2012", took place in Brussels,

security of supply and climate action in Europe".
At the same time he stressed that the findings of large amounts of

new opportunities and give new impetus to the prospects of establishing
a new energy corridor, which will further differentiate Europe's natural
gas sources of supply.
