EU and Turkey
This region experienced a strong growth of LNG imports between 2004 and 2011
(104%). The sustained fall in 2012 and 2013 has driven LNG in 2013 to levels of
before 2006. During this period EU share has stayed predominant with 90% of
regional imports.
The reduction of the LNG imports since 2011 has negatively affected the utilization
rate of LNG regasification terminals in Europe. These terminals have seen their load
halved over the last two years.
