ce jour<\/a> sur la d\u00e9pendance \u00e0 venir des Britanniques du gaz russe qui nous \u00e9claire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abWith North Sea oil and gas in decline, imports from Norway will pick up some of the slack, but in the longer term Britain and much of western Europe will become increasingly dependent on Russia.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThis has put Gazprom in a powerful position. So influential has Gazprom become that critics talk of Russia’s pipeline troops or gas guerillas. Moscow is no longer a military superpower. But this resource-rich country is fast becoming an energy superpower.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMark Spelman, head of global strategy at the consultancy Accenture, says: I don’t think that we recognise the pace at which things are going to move over the next four to five years. In the middle of the next decade we will suddenly wake up and say to ourselves: wow, look at how many assets Gazprom owns, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe company is already targeting the UK. Gazprom owns 10pc of the interconnector pipeline between Belgium and Britain, ensuring it can get gas into the UK. And the proposed Nord Stream pipeline through Germany and Holland into the UK, will provide even more gas.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbLast year, Gazprom bought a UK energy retailer, Pennine Natural Gas, which supplies industrial users such as Headingley Cricket Ground, and is it now targeting NHS hospitals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbGazprom also has a thriving UK-based trading arm, dealing in gas, oil, and emissions credits. According to one source: There was a time when Gazprom seemed to be in Ofgem’s office [the regulator] every other day trying to understand how the UK energy market worked.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbGazprom’s expansion in mainland Europe is moving far faster than the UK. The company has done asset swaps in Italy, Hungary, and Germany with the likes of Eni and Eon. Similar asset swaps are expected in the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbInfrastructure restrictions mean that Gazprom supplies about 2pc of UK gas, but this will rise<\/em> to 10pc and then 15pc<\/em><\/strong> in the short to medium term.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLes commentateurs s’\u00e9tendent beaucoup sur les tactiques, les effets et les cons\u00e9quences des rachats de Gasprom<\/em> au Royaume-Uni. Ils ne s’interrogent pas sur l’\u00e9volution de la politique britannique qui place sa diplomatie en mauvaise position pour traiter avec les Russes, \u00e0 cause de certains engagements moraux, alors que ces m\u00eames engagements moraux s’effacent devant de soi-disant imp\u00e9ratifs de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 quand il s’agit essentiellement de prot\u00e9ger une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 (BAE) dont l’establishment<\/em> britannique, particuli\u00e8rement en l’occurrence Blair et les cercles proches de lui, est prisonnier pour son fonctionnement et la d\u00e9fense de ses int\u00e9r\u00eats de caste. Le r\u00e9alisme britannique ne s’est pas effac\u00e9 devant les valeurs, il a simplement chang\u00e9 de registre. Il est difficile de penser que l’intelligence et le sens des int\u00e9r\u00eats nationaux y trouvent leur compte.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
