Reuters: EU's Oettinger sees Azeri gas decision in 2-3 months

The European Union's Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger expects an agreement on gas deliveries to Europe from Azerbaijan to be reached in the next two to three months.

"There will be gas deliveries from Azerbaijan," he said on Monday on the sidelines of an industry event, adding it was open whether the RWE-backed Nabucco consortium would be chosen to transport the gas.

"That's up to the investors and gas owners," he said, adding there were a number of pipeline projects on how to transport gas from the region to Europe and that Nabucco was just one of them.

"I can live with any pipeline," Oettinger said.  MORE
