The Azerbaijan-Turkish Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP), with an initial capacity of 16 billion cubic meters, can be expanded and replace the Nabucco project to transport natural gas only to the EU, Trend quotes the European Commission's report on the energy sector sent to partner states.
The European Commission said the EU needs a pipeline to transport Azerbaijani gas to Europe through Turkish territory, and it must be large enough to transport more Caspian gas to Europe.
"The latest interruption in the supply of natural gas from Turkey to Greece necessitates the new pipeline to be used only for transporting natural gas to the EU. Otherwise, the demand in Turkey may cause interruptions by creating problems for the European natural gas consumers," the report said.
