Rusia crea un mecanismo para asegurarse la Ruta Marítima del Norte

De acuerdo con la ley firmada por Putin, solo navíos con bandera rusa podrán transportar hidrocarburos por la Ruta Marítima del Norte. Esta norma entrará en vigor el 31 de diciembre de 2018. Es decir, desde esta fecha la Ruta Marítima del Norte, que transcurre por la mitad del Ártico, estará clausurada para buques con bandera extranjera.

Sin embargo, esto no significa que Rusia cierre totalmente el paso a las empresas extranjeras, explicó el editor de la revista Morskie vesti Rossii, Serguéi Filimónov.

Statements of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Venizelos and Environment, Energy & Climate Change Minister Maniatis. -Hellenic MoFA

MFA,Thursday, 30 January 2014
 
E. VENIZELOS: The exploration for the hydrocarbons that exist on the Greek continental shelf and the Greek exclusive economic zone are a firm and substantial priority for our government.

Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister Yiannis Maniatis and I, along with our associates, met so that we could all be equally up to date and have the same picture regarding the results of the very important seismic explorations carried out in previous months, regarding the analysis of the results of the seismic exploration, and, naturally, regarding the next steps that will lead to the selection of the concessionaires, precisely as has been done for other regions as well.

Norwegian firm to do oil surveys

By Chryssa Liaggou
Norwegian company Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) has been selected to undertake seismic surveys in the regions of the Ionian Sea and southern Crete, Environment and Energy Minister Evangelos Livieratos announced on Wednesday in Parliament and then at a press conference in Athens. Greece can expect drilling for hydrocarbons to begin as early as 2014.
PGS also performed seismic surveys off the Cypriot coast, collecting data that have led to the utilization of the first reserves in the island’s exclusive economic zone.

Ελληνικοί υδρογονάνθρακες και νομοθεσία

Η. Κονοφάγος, Ν. Λυγερός, Τ. Φωκιανού (OPUS)
Για να γίνει εντελώς κατανοητό το καθεστώς της έρευνας και της εκμετάλλευσης των υδρογονανθράκων στην ελληνική ΑΟΖ και να αποδείξουμε ότι οι απολαβές θα αφορούν αποκλειστικά το ελληνικό κράτος, πρέπει να εξετάσουμε το αρχικό πλαίσιο της οδηγίας της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης 94/22/ΕΚ στις 30 Μαΐου 1994, η οποία έχει υπογράψει την Σύμβαση των Ηνωμένων Εθνών για το Δίκαιο της Θάλασσας. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση καθώς εξαρτάται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τις εισαγωγές για τον εφοδιασμό της σε υδρογονάνθρακες, εκτιμά ότι είναι σκόπιμο να ενθαρρυνθεί η καλύτερη δυνατή αναζήτηση, εξερεύνηση και πόρων που βρίσκονται στην Κοινότητα.

EEZ as a bargaining chip

N. Lygeros (OPUS)
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
One of the main advantages of the Greek Exclusive Economic Zone, especially after having it proclaimed, is that it constitutes a bargaining chip. The Greek EEZ is not simply a huge maritime area it also means huge hydrocarbon deposits, which follow in a geological series those of Israel (especially Leviathan and Tamar deposits) and of Cyprus (Aphrodite deposit). This probability, since required drilling has not yet taken place, already changes the given at geopolitical level by offering an extremely positive context to the Greek government at a time when it fights to change the economic status of our country and is involved in talks with other countries.

EEZ as economic tool

N. Lygeros (OPUS)
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

As we get prepared for proclaiming the Greek EEZ, namely for materializing the first stage, we already have to study its strategic depth as well. This may take place by examining foreign cases. Other states have considered EEZ to be an economic tool. At this period, due to economic difficulties Italy puts emphasis on block charting, to allot sea areas to foreign companies for extracting hydrocarbons.

Les hydrocarbures et les Accords d'Évian

N. Lygeros (OPUS)
Cinquante ans après, les Accords d’Évian sont manifestement très peu lus et surtout ne sont pas décrites à travers des éléments de géostratégie et de géopolitique. Certains les mentionnent sans même les avoir parcourus et d’autres après les avoir survolés ne peuvent saisir l’essentiel. Tout le monde met en exergue la première partie qui correspond à l’accord de cessez-le-feu en Algérie. Certes ces onze articles jouent un rôle important dans l’arrêt du processus mais ne donnent aucune explication sur les circonstances et le contexte. Ce sont des articles génériques qui sont descriptifs d’une fin nécessaire. La partie la plus intéressante est certainement la seconde qui comporte cinq chapitres. Et le plus fondamental à la compréhension du contexte c’est bien le second, surtout lorsqu’il est éclairé par le troisième. Son titre est on ne peut plus clair puisqu’il s’agit de l’indépendance à la coopération.
