SGC - vital element of EU Energy Union, Sefcovic says
The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project is the vital element of the European Energy Union, the EU Commissioner for Energy Maros Sefcovic said in a video message to the participants of the 4th Caspian Energy Forum in Baku April 12.
"Energy Union is not only about our relations with the EU member states, but also with ourpartners, Azerbaijan being an important one," he added.

The EU is confident to receive gas from Azerbaijan in 2020, said Sefcovic, adding that Azerbaijani gas is very important in terms of energy diversification of Europe.

He pointed out that all contracts have been signed on the SGC project and concrete construction work is going on all of the projects included in SGC.

This progress is not only the result of efforts and commitments of all parties involved, but also the favorable atmosphere created for this project's implementation, he added.

Sefcovic also highlighted the personal involvement and commitment of Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev to this process and recall the successful visit of President Aliyev to Brussels.
