European Commission Welcomes Turkey's Ratification of NABUCCO Pipeline
The European Commission has welcomed the formal ratification of the Nabucco Intergovernmental Agreement in Turkey. Ratification was concluded by the publication of the ratification instrument in the Official Gazette of Turkey on March 11.
Günther Oettinger, European Commissioner responsible for Energy, said:
"With this ratification Turkey has shown its commitment to Nabucco. We should all now move forward and make full use of the Nabucco intergovernmental agreement and quickly start the construction of the pipeline for its entire length from Eastern Turkey to Austria. Nabucco has been a political priority. Now it needs to become reality."
