Pashkovskaya, I.G. Legal bases of interaction of the EU and the Russian Federation in the sphere of energy.

Abstract: The relations between the EU and the Russian Federation in the sphere of energy are based on two legal pillars. The multipartisan legal base is an EU – initiated agreement to the Energy Charter, which Russia had signed (as well as the Protocol on the issue of energy effi ciency and ecological aspects) in 1994, and it used to apply it till 2009 (including 2009). Having notifi ed the other parties on its refusal to be a member state, Russia noted that it is willing to use positive results of the agreement and discuss its modernization. The position of the EU is to insist on application of the agreement. In 2007 the EU and Russia agreed on further negotiations on the new agreement, which shall include a chapter on regulation of relations in the sphere of energy, and it is currently the 12th round of negotiations.
