Malta Post: EU must improve relationship with Russia to ensure security of gas supply
Maintaining strong relations with Russia was key for the European Union to ensure security of gas supply, key players in the oil and gas industry told an energy conference being held in Malta.
Over 30 countries including EU member states and North African countries are taking part in a high-level conference held at the Intercontinental on the looming gas crisis. Recent events in Ukraine, which have seen Russia cutting off gas supplies to Ukraine over unpaid bills, has prompted energy ministers to come together, concerned that this situation could affect Europe’s gas supply in the long-term.
The conference is being co-hosted by Malta’s Energy Minister Konrad Mizzi and his Cypriot counterpart George Lakkotrypis.
