The challenge of completing the EU internal market for natural gas

Abstract:

Managing the problem with gas interruptions to several EU countries in Central and Eastern Europe is one of the explicit goals of the European Energy Union. In order to enhance the diversification of energy suppliers, the Energy Union therefore emphasizes the extension of infrastructure and interconnections of pipelines between member states.

In this publication, the author points to the major challenges to the completion of the internal energy market and analyses what role the Energy Union can play in this process.
