| Abstract: |
WITH NO tanker fleet of its own, Russia is forced to lower it prices to render its hydrocarbons competitive for transport through the congested Bosporus to markets beyond. Reliable Greek tanker transport between Novorossiysk and Burgas would thus mean greater profits for Moscow – with a measure of insurance against potential instability in Turkey – while Iran is still isolated internationally and unable to challenge Russian energy delivery in terms of infrastructure. With the Burgas-Alexadroupolis pipeline and the potential for Russian-interest refineries in Greece opening both prospects and pitfalls for Athens, the EU has to look to Russia as its number-one energy supplier for at least the next 20 years, given the instability of other source countries and regions, and the fact that alternative energy initiatives have remained largely on paper.
Dr Filis presents below a review of the major issues, which he has framed as a series of questions to which he then provides the answers.
