Baumgarten, in Austria, is one of Europe's key natural gas distribution centres. It hopes to see a huge increase in flow from the Caspian Sea and the Middle East in five years, when the Nabucco pipeline is ready. The pipeline is supposed to reduce Europe's dependence on Russia - for both transit and supply. The Nabucco project was launched with European Union support by OMV Gas International. The six-partner consortium is controlled by Austria. In the driver's seat, Reinhard MITSCHEK, outlines what has to happen.
