Security implications of the Nord Stream Project

This memo seeks to analyse whether and how the pipeline might influence patterns of regional stability and security, including the potential of the new EU member states to act as security providers in the Northern Dimension. Its main objective is to discuss the leverage of Russia and the influence of the pipeline on the formation of the new external EU energy policy. An additional objective is to provide recommendations on how the EU should deal with any identified security aspects of the pipeline.
