Nord Stream expansion: what does it mean for Europe? EPC Commentary, 2 July 2015

Two announcements in sequence have shaken the energy debate on 18 and 19 June. Gazprom announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding with Shell, Exon and OMV for the construction of strings 3 and 4 of Nord Stream, aiming at doubling the current 55 bcm capacity of the corridor running in the Baltic sea bed and connecting the Russian terminal of Vyborg to Germany. On the day after, a €2 bn deal between Russia and Greece was signed for extending the Turkish Stream project into Greek territory. ...

Nord Stream II – Another test for EU unity. EPC Commentary, 9 October 2015

In September 2015, Gazprom and major European energy companies (Germany's E.ON and BASF/Wintershall, Austria's OMV, France’s ENGIE and Royal Dutch Shell) signed an agreement to double the Nord Stream gas pipeline’s capacity by 2019.

Nord Stream II-testing EU and credibility. EPC Commentary, 16 December 2015

Nord Stream II - yes or no? - Political decision of a political Commission. EPC Commentary, 14 June 2016

When the new European Commission started work in autumn 2014, the president of the Commission took great pride in calling it a ‘political Commission’, which will be big on big things and small on small. Whilst the EU is currently dealing with many crises, reality is that things do not come much bigger than Nord Stream II. Will this be a political Commission that stands by its principles, including respect for liberty, democracy, the rule of law and human rights? Will this Commission have the backbone to politically assess a project that threatens EU unity and its core values, undermines the Union’s commonly agreed commitment to building an Energy Union and facilitates Russia’s aggression against Ukraine? President Juncker’s controversial visit to Russia and meeting with President Putin on 16-17 June is a test-case: will this Commission be ready to defend its commitments and principles when discussing ‘economic issues’?

Reinach-Nord (BL, Suisse): Une ferme gauloise à l'aube de l'époque romaine

Situé dans la vallée de la Birse, Reinach appartient à l'arrière-pays de Bâle et est localisé dans la plaine du Rhin supérieur. Cette zone jouant un rôle important pendant la Guerre des Gaules ainsi que durant le Ier siècle apr. J.-C., on doit envisager de forts bouleversements du peuplement de cette région au changement d'ère. Grâce à des conditions favorables, les structures de La Tène finale au lieu-dit "Mausacker" sont très bien conservées et permettent de restituer une ferme laténienne avec deux phases différentes. Au même endroit se situe une villa gallo-romaine, mieux connue par ses enclos funéraires que par les structures résidentielles. Des études pluridisciplinaires financées par le Fonds national suisse (FNS) sont en cours pour les vestiges laténiens et gallo-romains de Reinach-Nord.
