Abstract
THIS PAPER WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN THE WAY RUSSIA MANAGED TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF THE EUROPEAN ENERGY POLICY (FROM 2014 UN TIL NOW). MAINLY, IT WILL REFLECT ON THE ROLE OR THE INFLUENCE OF THE TWO STATE OWNED COMPANIES GAZPROM AND ROSNEFT ON THE EUROPEAN MARKET. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THEIR RESERVES OF GAS AND OIL, THEIR DELIVERY CAPACITIES AND PRICE PER UNIT, WE WILL TRY T O SEE IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTOR ON EUROPEAN MARKET. ANOTHER AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO UNDE RSTAND WHERE THE TENSIONS BETWEEN OPEC (MAINLY SAUDI ARABIA) AND RUSSIA WILL LEAD, WHAT ARE THE GOALS IN THIS ECONOMICAL WAR AND HOW WILL THIS AFFECT EUROPEAN UNION. THE FINAL PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO FIND POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIOS REGARDING THE ENERGY MARKET IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, SUCH AS A NEW HISTORICAL ACCORD BETWEEN OPEC AND RUSSIAN FEDERATION, OR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RUSSIA OIL WITH ARABI AN OIL ON THE EUROPEAN MARKET, ANALYZING AND COMPARING OFFICIAL REPORTS AND DATA, SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES AND PAPE RS.
