Summary/Abstract |
The Ukrainian crisis has brought Russian-European relations to a head, affecting many areas including the energy sector. In response to downright opposition from the European Union, Russia has cancelled the South Stream project. In turn, the European Commission is devising another plan to reduce the EU's dependence on Russia. In particular, it is discussing an idea to establish an EU energy union and work out a unified oil and gas purchasing policy for European companies. A "non-aggression energy pact" could be a way out of this stalemate between the neighbors. This pact would register the current level of cooperation and lay out plans for starting a discussion on a new format of their interaction in the future.

Summary/Abstract |
While the Energy Charter has faced its own crises during the last two decades, it is now time to take the opportunity of further strengthening the organization. The Energy Charter is up to the challenge and we are now only beginning to realize its potential of becoming a 21st-century governance power in the energy investment field.

Summary/Abstract |
ON 30 JULY 2009, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed government order No. 1055-r discontinuing the provisional application by the Russian Federation of the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT).1 On August 24, in accordance with Article 45 (3-) of the ECT, Russia notified in writing the Charter Depositary (the government of Portugal) of its intention not to become a party to the ECT. Sixty days later, Russia ceased to be a party provisionally applying the ECT. As of October 20, it became (alongside Australia, Iceland, and Norway) a nation that has signed but not ratified the Treaty and does not apply it on a provisional basis, that is to say, it has taken "a step back" while remaining within the Charter process nonetheless.
