Russia, EU plan to talk 3rd Energy Package end-Nov or early Dec

DOHA. Nov 15 (Interfax) - Russia and the European Union plan for energy dialog late this month or early next, during which they will discuss the EU's 3rd Energy Package, Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko told the press.

"The plan is for the next meeting with the European Union in the middle of December. Before then, as per the established practice, we will have an energy dialog. I have already suggested to [European Energy] Commissioner [Gunther] Oettinger that at the end of November, perhaps at the beginning of December, the next energy dialog meeting be held. It should take place in Moscow," Shmatko said. The main topic for discussion will be the 3rd Energy Package, he added.
