How many Eurofiles in here........?? I guess you could call this ...job security ..........*L* (really nothing different than ..the revolving door in Congress and other Agencies in the U.S. government ....including the company that bribed Cunningham from California).
I must note ............Schroeder was the chief negotiator of this pipeline for the German Government ....with the Russian State owned ....Gazprom.

Germany's Schroeder Joins Russian-German Gas Pipeline Project
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder will lead the shareholders committee for a German- Russian gas-pipeline project to pump gas under the Baltic Sea, OAO Gazprom Chief Executive Alexei Miller said today.
State-controlled Gazprom began building the more than 4- billion-euro ($4.7 billion) North European gas pipeline project today in the town of Babaeyvo in Russia's Volodga region, north of Moscow.
The pipeline will allow Gazprom to ship gas directly to Germany, bypassing Poland, Ukraine and Belarus. It will carry 27.5 billion cubic meters of gas a year in 2010 and twice that much by 2012, Miller said. Gazprom will raise gas exports to Europe 4.1 percent to 151 billion cubic meters in 2006 following a 3.1 percent jump this year as demand and prices rise.
Gazprom owns 51 percent of the project and Germany's BASF and E.ON each hold 24.5 percent.
The partners may offer as much as 9 percent of the project to another partner, said E.ON Chairman Wulf Bernotat today.
Gazprom Deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev said on Nov. 30 that the third partner may be selected from among Gaz de France, Nederlandse Gasunie NV, BP Plc and the Transco unit of National Grid Plc by April.
