"Today we placed a special focus on cooperation in the field of gas supplies and storage. We see potential for cooperation. If Estonia decided to build a medium-sized LNG terminal, the terminals would not compete but supplement each other together with the gas storage facility in Latvia," Skvernelis said at a news conference in the port city of Klaipeda.
Estonia's Prime Minister Juri Ratas restated that the regional LNG terminal should be constructed in the Gulf of Finland.
"It is a common goal of the Baltic countries to ensure the supply of gas on Baltic states regarding LNG terminal due to previous studies, which ensure the lowest cost to the consumer. Estonia proceeded that regional LNG terminal should be established on basis on market logistics. We don't support for a terminal to paid by customers. Study of EC found that the Gulf of Finland would be the best place of regional terminal," Ratas said at the conference.
In his words, the decision on the regional terminal should be made after the Baltic prime ministers visit the Incukalns facility in Latvia – the visit is scheduled for early August.
