Next, the projects of particular importance for the EU energysecurity have been described, including three priority gas corridors: the SouthernCorridor, the North-South Corridor in Eastern Europe, and the interconnection plan onthe Baltic energy market (BEMIP), as well as the Corridor North - South in WesternEurope.
