ROME. March 11. KAZINFORM. ENI's Chief Executive Officer Paolo Scoroni has called for linking two future European gas pipelines - South Stream and Nabucco; Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.
"If only all partners decided to link the two, we would reduce operating costs and increase efficiency," he said.
At a time when demand for gas is growing, Europe should increase investments in infrastructures to ensure gas supplies from "new sources" - like Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Africa, the head of Italy's energy company said.
"We must have a united strategy," he concluded.
The ENI is Russian Gazprom's major partner in the South Stream project; Kazinform cites Itar-Tass.
