This paper analyzes the opportunities and constraints of the Southern Corridor, its uncertain progress and the limited resources available to be exported to the EU markets. It focuses on Italy's energy outlook and how the development of the Southern Corridor may change it. In the last decade international political events and long-term economic trends have raised increasing concerns about Europe’s energy security, particularly in the gas sector. The EU, and Italy in particular, depend heavily on natural gas imported from few producing countries.
