<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"In terms of energy, theEU is not self-sufficient in either oil or natural gas. The EU's main sources of natural gas and oil are Russia, Algeria and, probably, Tunisia. In order to ensure unimpeded access to various sources, theEU has provided funding for the Inogate oil and gas pipeline programme for several years.    Essentially, the objectives of the programme as regards supplies of natural gas and oil from Russia are met by three pipelines in addition to those already existing:      —  the North Stream pipeline linking Russia with Germany,      —  the South Stream pipeline linking Greece with Russia, and      —  the Russia-Bulgaria-Greece pipeline linking Novorossisk with Burgas and Alexandroupolis.    As regards the last of the above pipelines, the Bulgarians have recently said that they consider the project to be environmentally harmful and have alluded to its cancellation.  1.What will the implications be for EU energy policy if the project is cancelled?  2.What is the EU's position on the Novorossisk-Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline? Does it want the project to be carried out or not?"
