BRUSSELS - The EU is keen for Ukraine to accept a winter deal on Russian gas, but Ukraine is wary of the terms and of broader EU-Russia energy ties.

The deal - put forward by the European Commission in talks in Berlin last Friday (26 September) - currently exists as three sheets of paper with no legal status or signatures.

It is being discussed in Kiev and Moscow. Brussels hopes they will agree to it by the end of the week and turn into a “binding protocol” by the end of next week.

Après l’Iran, visite officielle du 1er ministre turc en Russie pour re-négocier les prix de l’approvisionnement en gaz naturel de la Turquie. Ceci sans doute liée à l’inflation de la monnaie turque couplée à un nouveau record de consommation de gaz naturel au mois de décembre (4,9 milliard de m3 ▻http://ekonomi.milliyet.com.tr/dogalgaz-ithalati-aylik-rekor-/ekonomi/detay/1830659/default.htm) qui pèsent de plus en plus lourdement sur la balance commerciale du pays

Prime minister also pointed to the cooperation in the energy field between Turkey and Russia, briefly saying it was “especially important.”

According to the Financial Times, one of the main reasons for Erdoğan’s trip to Sochi was to win cheaper gas from Russia, the world’s biggest natural gas supplier. The British paper said that Erdoğan’s visit came a week after a trip to Iran, where he also went seeking cheaper energy. The daily said the inclusion of Energy Minister Taner Yıldız in the delegation traveling with Erdoğan to Russia is also a strong indicator of how energy hungry Turkey is.
