EU close to reaching energy deal with Iraq
The European Union and Iraq are close to signing an energy cooperation deal, EU Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said Wednesday, as Europe strives to reduce dependence on Russian oil and gas. "It's only a matter of some weeks I believe to conclude these negotiations," on sealing a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation, Barroso told reporters at a joint press conference with visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. "These negotiations are going very well... there are already very concrete details now," Barroso added.
