Brussels–APA. Turkey’s Prime Minister and the Head of the European Commission on Monday urged one another to do more to speed up Turkey’s progress towards the European Union, especially in the field of energy security, APA reports quoting UNIAN.
But European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said that the speed of talks depended on Turkey’s own ability to reform.
The talks dealt "extensively" with energy issues, especially the planned Nabucco pipeline, which the EU hopes will one day bring natural gas from Azerbaijan to Europe, Barroso said.
Turkey "gives full support all the time" to the project, and "will make the necessary investments" to make sure that the pipeline -- planned to carry up to 30 billion cubic meters of gas per year, or roughly 6 per cent of EU consumption -- succeeds, Erdogan said.
