Energy security debates within the EU increasingly focus on security of gas supply. Rising demand and declining domestic production compel the EU to forge a comprehensive policy toolset unifying energy and external policy. Security of gas supply in the EU has been tried to be tackled by market-oriented measures such as liberalization, solidarity measures or Community mechanism. However, supply risks are transcending the boundaries of EU internal market forcing the EU to adopt policies based on geopolitics. In this context, Turkey seems to play a key role as part of the strategic Southern Corridor planned to be a new gas artery from the Caspian region through Turkey to Europe. In addition, the further integration of nascent Turkish gas market to the EU appears to be in harmony with efforts relying on deepening of EU internal market

Anahtar Kelimeler

Energy Security, security of gas supply, Southern Corridor, internal gas market, Turkish gas market

Energy Security of the European Union and Turkey’s Role

AB içinde enerji güvenliği tartışmaları daha çok doğal gaz arz güvenliği üzerinde yoğunlaşmaktadır. Artan talep ve azalan yerli üretim AB’yi, enerji ve dış politikayı birleştiren bütüncül bir politika oluşturmaya zorluyor. AB’de doğal gaz arz güvenliği topluluk mekanizması, dayanışma ya da serbestleştirme gibi önlemlerle ele alınmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, arz kaynaklı riskler iç pazarın boyutlarını aşarak, AB’nin jeopolitiğe dayalı politikalar benimsemesini zorunlu kılıyor. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye, Hazar kaynaklarını Avrupa’ya taşıyarak yeni bir doğal gaz arteri haline gelecek stratejik Güney Koridorunun bir parçası olarak önemli bir rol oynamaya hazırlanmaktadır. Buna ek olarak, yeni gelişen Türkiye doğal gaz piyasasının AB ile bütünleşmesi, AB’nin iç pazarı geliştirme yönündeki çabaları ile de uyumlu gözükmektedir

Anahtar Kelimeler

Enerji güvenliği, doğal gaz arz güvenliği, güney koridoru, doğal gaz iç pazarı, Türkiye doğal gaz piyasası
