RT: US shale gas exports won’t solve EU energy problems – Barroso
Exports of liquefied natural gas from the US won't solve the EU’s energy security problems, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said after the G7 meeting in Brussels.
Barroso said US President Barack Obama expressed readiness to increase the supply of natural gas to the EU at the March summit in Brussels, however the two leaders did not discuss the matter at their Thursday meeting in the framework of the G7.
This process will take a certain amount of time, the European Commission President said stressing the EU cannot create “the illusion that gas from the US is going to solve our problems.”
