| Summary |
Since Russia's annexation of the Crimea, the future of the Black Sea and Caspian energy corridor has been in doubt. The West needs to develop a comprehensive policy for securing energy exploration, production, and transportation between the Caspian Sea basin and Europe. To address these challenges, NATO should boost its presence in the Black Sea basin and expand naval and air force cooperation with Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine. Turkey, a Black Sea power, should also play an important role in this endeavor. The European Union (EU) must create better conditions for dialogue among its members, as their varied levels of dependence on Russia for gas and different approaches to nuclear energy continue to present serious obstacles to Central and Eastern European regional energy security, including the Black Sea region. Both the United States and the EU should oppose, or at least try to limit in scope, construction of Gazprom's Turkish Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey, while supporting oil and gas development around the Black Sea, including in Georgia, Romania, and Ukraine |
