As we heard a few days ago, Italy's ENI are one of the firms that have been successful in the current bidding process in the CY EEZ.

Turkey, the country which brought us the amusing capers of the Clapped-Out Sardine Trawler, the Piri Reis and its ridiculous attempts at "prospecting" for oil and gas in CY waters...

Turkey, the failed half-nation, that drilled for the non-existant oil and gas in the Occupied Areas...

The very same Turkiye which succeeded in bringing these into the skies of the Occupied Areas when it threatened the exploration activities of Noble in Block 12...

... According to the Turkish press, Turkey is now threatening to "review" contracts in mainland Turkey with Italy's ENI if they carry on with their work in the CY EEZ.

Does anybody in the Turkish Government stop to think of the consequences of any such action against ENI or any other EU firm...?

Such an action would be a contravention of one of the terms of the very lucrative to Turkey Customs Union treaty, which (amongst other things) gives practically free and unfettered access to European markets for Turkish firms and vice versa and which has led to massive investments by European firms in Turkey over the last few years.

At the very least, Turkey would be liable to a counter action at the ECJ (who oversee EU laws and treaties) that could be brought against it by ENI or any other EU firm that feels it's been unlawfully treated... and as the ECJ is an institution of the EU, Turkey has no representation on its panel of judges or advocates-general.

... and what sort of message is this Turkish threat sending to other EU companies...??? How safe are these massive investments by EU companies...???

...oil seems to have a life of its own, a provocateur extraordinaire, of war.

...once Greece is taken over, Italy is next, it's all the same Continental Shelf, andthey are Romes aren't they? as it is, they are not "Turkish" enough.

...can Erdogan run for a fifth term?

Jurisdiction

It is the responsibility of the Court of Justice to ensure that the law is observed in the interpretation and application of the Treaties of the European Union and of the provisions laid down by the competent Community institutions. To enable it to carry out that task, the Court has broad jurisdiction to hear various types of action. The Court has competence, among other things, to rule on applications for annulment or actions for failure to act brought by a Member State or an institution, actions against Member States for failure to fulfil obligations, references for a preliminary ruling and appeals against decisions of the General Court .[1]

Oh.. so you're saying that as Turkey isn't a Member State, it isn't bound by the terms of the Customs Union and that ENI and other EU firms that are threatened by Turkey don't have a redress...???

Is that your point...???

[Lordo]

Come along VP... don't you be going all shy on us.

Exactly my point, how old were you again????

[bill cobbett]

Exactly my point, how old were you again????

So are you old and wise enough to understand that these carelessly thought out threats will have unforeseen consequences if Turkey persists in its laughable attempts at intimidation of EU Energy Giants...???

Are you old and wise enough to have looked up the terms of the Customs Union VP...???

Are you old and wise enough to have looked up the binding arbitration which Turkey has signed up to under the Customs Union Treaty...???

Suspect... Probably not, to all the above.
