"With regard to the LNG terminal, at the moment there is no agreement between companies of Estonia and Finland. Does this mean that the LNG terminal will certainly not come? I do not think so. I think there is still a way to build the LNG terminal in our region," Rõivas said.

The European Commission decided at a meeting in Tallinn this week not to support financially Alexela Energia and Finnish energy company Gasum's joint projects for building liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals along the Gulf of Finland; both companies announced that they will continue with the terminal building plan, searching for other solutions.
