"Caucasus energy corridor becoming priority for European Union
By M. Alkhazashvili

According to Die Welt the European Union and Germany will seriously adjust their policy towards Caucasus by May 11. On that day German Chancellor Angela Merkel will state the new priorities for Germen foreign policy.

Germany is becoming the chair of the EU in 2007 and the country is paying great attention to the Caucasus and Central Asian energy resources and Germany is planning to place its Caucasus policy as the cornerstone of EU policy towards the east.

The EU thinks of getting energy carriers by ways other than Russia and is planning to carry out practical steps towards the issue in the near future. Russia forced the EU to think of such steps so as the country is one of the main sources for supplying united Europe with energy trains."
