Now there are some countries in EU which are bitter because of the energy distibution agreement between Germany and Russia. The bitter criticizers argue that Germany and Russia didn't listen to EU at all, and that the agreement is bad for the unity of EU and for the energy politics of EU. In reality Germany made the right thing at the right moment when started to deal directly with Russia. In EU some countiries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and in my own country in Finland the conservative party and the corresponding conservative foreign minister made a security issue of the gas pipe line and of the Russian energy. Germany understood that since EU has now its own defence policy and defence headquarter independent from USA and NATO, Germany must not listen to ancient soviet states which have got the security issue from the USA-NATO security plan.
