Should the new team be confirmed Bratušek will oversee the realization of the project of an energy union, which is one of the key projects of the European Union, as the goal of the EU is to become less dependent on Russian gas, as RTV correspondent in Brussels Matjaž Trost reports.

Günther Oettinger is the current Commissioner for energy and he is known for his view that the South Stream gas pipeline project was in breach of EU law. In the new EU Commission Oettinger will be Commissioner for Digital Economy.
