The Southern Gas Corridor is an initiative of the European Commission for the gas supply from Caspian and Middle Eastern regions to Europe. The initiative was proposed in the European Commission's Communication "Second Strategic Energy Review – An EU Energy Security and Solidarity Action Plan" (COM/2008/781).〔 〕〔 〕 The European Union has identified a number of partner countries for this initiative, such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Egypt and Mashreq countries. Uzbekistan and Iran should represent, when political conditions permit, a further significant supply source for the EU.〔 In the Trans-European Networks – Energy (TEN – E) programme, "the European Union has designated (...) three of the pipelines as of strategic importance (ITGI, Nabucco and White Stream)."〔 〕 Also the Trans Adriatic Pipeline is identified as a Southern Corridor project.〔 Together, the Southern Corridor projects could provide the necessary transportation capacity to deliver the 60 to 120 billion cubic metres per year of Caspian and Central Asian gas that the European Commission aims to bring directly to Europe.〔Joshua Chaffin, EU plan to loosen Russia's grip on energy, ''Financial Times'', 13 Nov 2008.〕 ON 8 May 2009, the summit "Southern Corridor – New Silk Road" was held in Prague.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Summit "Southern Corridor – New Silk Road" )〕 ==References== uk:Південний газотранспортний коридор 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern Gas Corridor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
