The @AtlanticCouncil gathered a number #Romanian speakers @GuvernulRo, @MAERomania to discuss the country's regional importance.
A legitimate topic, but let's unpack some of the claims made by the speakers /1

‘Romania is working to integrate regional markets and move away from Russian gas.’ If that is the case, can the speakers guarantee that the latest import contract signed by @RomgazRomania with Azerbaijan excludes Russian-origin gas?/2
Romania is working to import electricity from Azerbaijan, says Ambassador Tatiana Iosiper @tiosiper. Just out of curiosity, has Her Excellency worked out the costs of such an interconnection, plus the added war-related risks in the Black Sea? /3
Mr G. Niculescu of @EnergyofRomania said RO was working to integrate its market with Ukraine’s. Can he tells us why there are no exports of electricity to UA right now when needed? Something to do with a 98% tax on electricity/gas trading? /3

Also Mr Niculescu told the audience that 3.3mcm/day of gas was being shipped to Ukraine from Romania. Really, Mr Niculescu? Is this gas from the Romanian VTP or transit gas from Bulgaria? /4
Ms Alexandra Bocse, advisor to @KlausIohannis said RO was encouraging foreign investors.
Why, then, are investors turning away from Romania, complaining of market-unfriendly rules and lack of communication from institutions such as #ANRE, #Ministryofenergy #Opcom? /5
