MEPs call on the Commission and Member States to step up work on EU southern gas corridor projects and especially the Nabucco Asia to Europe gas pipeline, and to promote the DESERTEC (clean power from deserts) and TRANSGREEN (low carbon and renewable energy networks) projects through the Mediterranean Solar Plan. Regional projects such as the “Mediterranean Ring” (grid interconnection) and the “Baltic Interconnection Project” should also be promoted, they add.
