(en.rian) --
Hungary's oil and gas firm MOL and other project participants have not confirmed
their withdrawal from the Western-backed Nabucco gas pipeline project, European
Commission energy spokesperson Marlene Holzner said. Hungarian Prime Minister
Viktor Orban said earlier on Monday that MOL was leaving the Nabucco
project.
MOL has not confirmed the report of its withdrawal from Nabucco,
Holzner told reporters. "The Nabucco shareholder in Hungary is FGSZ, a MOL
subsidiary, and we have not had any indication that this will change," the
Nabucco Consortium said on Tuesday afternoon.
Nabucco, which is intended
to pump 31 bcm of natural gas, is part of the EU's effort to diversify its
natural gas supplies and reduce the region's dependence on Russian gas. |
