Romania has potential in both domains and that is why we come with two parts. One is to sign up in the programmes of the European Union to develop new energy sources and we have as objective to develop the renewable sources of energy, and as regards the independence of gas resources against the Russian Federation, we have decided that through this law (the offshore law) to insure stability and legal predictability to the business environment in the domain’ the premier said. He said that extraction of the first natural gas from the Black Sea will take place this year. ‘There is the possibility that in a short period of time we start investments in the Neptun Deep and insure the exploitation of the gas in the Black Sea, at the same time, we insure the exploitation of the gas on the national territory from the deep, this investment being able to insure gas starting with 2024. From the Black Sea we have the possibility to get gas at the middle of this year.
