Putin Calls For Free From Dependence On The US Dollar

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin 26, criticized the European Union's energy policy seriously hampered foreign investment, equivalent to "rob" foreign investors.

Putin criticized the EU's energy policy and suggested that the EU and Russia should establish closer ties. He even envisaged that Russia might join the euro zone in the future.

Putin also pressed ahead with the euro, saying Russia is considering upgrading the euro's position in energy trading. He believes that although some members of the eurozone are facing a debt crisis, the euro is still a "stable world currency" and has the ability to tide over this crisis. He said Russia and the EU are not unlikely to establish a single currency trading zone.

Vladimir Putin Call for freedom Yes dollar Of rely on "Because it causes the world economy to be too fragile". The euro zone sovereign debt crisis is heating up. Some analysts worry that Ireland will take the lead in Greece to become the source of the new debt crisis. Ireland is negotiating with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund on financial assistance, with an estimated amount of 85 billion euros.

　　 "Brutal robbery"

Putin arrived in the German capital Berlin on the same day, plans to hold talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He believes that the EU's major energy policy reform should be negotiated with Russia in advance.

For example, Gazprom and Germany's Ruhr gas Limited by Share Ltd have acquired the assets of Lithuania's natural gas sales and transportation in a legal way, but these assets may be forced to give up according to EU energy reform.

"What is this? What kind of savage robbery is it?" Putin said. "We often hear partners from Europe and North America keep saying," if you want to be a member of the civilized family of the world, you must act in a civilized manner. " And then? Have you forgotten these basic principles?

Ruhr gas Limited by Share Ltd holds 38.9% of Lithuania Du Jos natural gas company, while Gazprom holds 37% of the shares.

According to the EU energy regulation, Lithuania announced in May that it would divest the sales and Transportation Department of Du Jos natural gas company in Lithuania, causing Russia's dissatisfaction.

The EU launched the "third energy package" in 2009, aiming to weaken the over control of the energy giants to the market and ensure that small energy enterprises participate more in the competition. In addition, the plan contains a clause that restricts the purchase of strategic energy transport departments by foreign enterprises. The terms of the article, which have great influence on Gazprom, are known as the terms of Russian Gazprom.

　 Jokes "burn wood for warmth"

Gazprom is the largest natural gas producer in the world. It now supplies 1/4 of the total natural gas needed in Europe. The Russian government has complained many times about the EU's investment barriers to the enterprise. The European Union retorted that Russia also enacted similar laws to restrict foreign investment in Russia's strategic assets, including Gazprom.

However, Putin believes that the EU's energy supply is inseparable from Russia. He jokes that if the EU does not need natural gas or nuclear energy, instead of relying on Russia to choose firewood for heating, it will still depend on Russia.

"I can't understand how you can warm your house. You don't want natural gas and do not want to develop nuclear energy. What do you rely on for heating? Firewood? But even so, you still need to go to Siberia, Russia to cut firewood, and you don't even have wood.
