Case Upon - Is A Gas Opec A Real Threat To Europe?
Document scanning is an advantageous step to take for your business for many reasons. Documents are kept more secure, retrieval time is slashed in half, organization is much more logical, etc. Now that you have all of your information conveniently scanned, you do not need those pesky, room-using, filing cabinets. What are you going to do with all of that room? Have you noticed your office can use a bit of revamping? Why not? You have just saved your company time, money, and energy by making the sagacious move in using scanning services, so why not reward yourself?Have you ever heard the saying, “T
BREAKDOWN EU GAS IMPORTS STATISTICS
The European Union currently imports 40% of its gas, and by 2030, it is likely to rise to 70%. At present, Russia supplies 32% of the EU’s needs. 80% of Russian gas exports are carried via the Ukrainian pipeline network, the rest of it through a pipeline linking Germany via Belarus and Poland.
The remainder of the gas imported into the European Union comes mainly from Norway (20%), Algeria (16%), Nigeria (2%), Qatar (1%) and the rest of the world (30%).

Congratulations! You’ve decided to publish an ezine. But where do you begin? As with anything, at the beginning.Before you write your first word there are some decisions you need to make. Ask yourself these 5 questions:1.What is the topic of your ezine?This may seem like a silly question if you are far enough along in the process that you know you want to publish an ezine, but you would be surprised how many ezines are out there that seem to have no solid topic. They seem to be there for the sole purpose of taking up space in their subscriber’s email inbox, of which there are few.Do
IS THE GECF A VIRTUAL FORUM?
In fact, there is an organisation, the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), which seeks to promote cooperation and coordination between gas exporters and prevent cooperation. Fortunately, for Europe , Jonathan has observed that the GECF ‘has showed it to be a relatively chaotic organisation with unstable membership and an uncertain future. It rarely meets, has no website and no official documents about its activities.’
EUROPE INCREASINGLY UNDER THREAT?
At present, a majority of Europe’s gas imports comes via pipelines from Russia, Norway and Algeria , with some via liquid natural gas tankers from Qatar and Nigeria . The current nature and structure of the global gas market, together with its ‘…higher costs and greater rigidity of natural gas transportation compared to oil or coal…’ leaves little opportunity for a gas cartel to arbitrarily adjust production volumes and price levels, in a similar manner to OPEC.
In any case, current Russian energy export policy is against surrendering any part of its existing power by involvement implicit in any OPEC type organisation. ‘Russia has never sought to join (or been invited to join) despite its importance in the global oil trade,’ Jonathan Stern observed.
RUSSIA BYPASSES THIRD COUNTRIES
The prospect of Europe facing a repeat of its disruption to its supplies, due to Belarus and the Ukraine being in dispute with Gazprom over the price these countries should pay for gas is seen by Jonathan as ‘highly unlikely.’ Such a threat is only likely to occur ‘If they refuse to pay market prices for Russian gas supplies and allow their contracts to run out.‘ This threat is being further reduced by Gazprom building direct pipelines to Western and Southern Europe which avoids using gas pipelines via Belarus and the Ukraine.
EUROPE NEGOTIATES FURTHER GAS DEALS
In addition, buyers from Germany, France , Italy and Austria have recently renewed their gas supply deals with Gazprom. These ‘…15 - 25 year contracts with Russia, with clauses stating how prices are calculated, are important, not only because they substantially prolong a significant part of European gas supplies, but also because these contracts are legally binding and subject to international arbitration with liquidated damages in the event of non-performance.’
AN EUROPEAN ENERGY STRATEGY IS THE SOLUTION
Jonathan Stein concludes that Europe should formulate an energy strategy, though it is ‘…highly unlikely…’ that EU member governments will come to such an agreement soon. However but the most pressing question is, irrespective of the development of a gas exporter’s cartel, how Europe attempts to react to its increasing dependency on gas imports from Russia and elsewhere!

Because I do a lot of networking with very small business owners, I meet a lot of dual business owners. These are people, usually women, who own two businesses (or more).As a solopreneur, your resources are limited – that is, time and mo'ney. Managing and marketing one business is already a full-time job, so if your two businesses don't share the same target market, you may struggle – a lot.Sharing the same target market allows you to refer business to yourself, and if your two products/services are related, this is smoother. For example, if you are involved with two different MLMs whose produ

Letting people know about your business Web siteYou can’t set up in cyberspace and expect customers to just come to your business Web site. You have to let them know you are there.

For those folks, you need an offline marketing strategy to get them to your business Web site. This is where the postcard comes in. Put your Web address on an attractive postcard to create interest in your business Web site.
