Baumgarten, in Austria, is one of Europe's key natural gas distribution centres. It hopes to see a huge increase in flow from the Caspian Sea and the Middle East in five years, when the Nabucco pipeline is ready. The pipeline is supposed to reduce Europe's dependence on Russia - for both transit and supply. The Nabucco project was launched with European Union support by OMV Gas International. The six-partner consortium is controlled by Austria. In the driver's seat, Reinhard MITSCHEK, outlines what has to happen.

  • lol did you just call Iran and Turkey a mickey mouse country? And EU can invade it? Let me tell you, Turkey has one of the strongest armies in the world (2nd largest in NATO). One needs to be insane to fight Turkey. And Iran also! Iran is nothing like iraq they are waaaay to strong and can target EU and Israel any time with their missiles. We all saw how USA suffered in Iraq. USA cannot win a war over Iran, Forget about EU aginst the "mickey mouse" countries lol

  • thats why all the tension over Iran, because of the GAS. Now I get it why the USA is so hostile over Iran.
