Otto Musilek, chairman of the Nabucco Steering Committee, said: "The joint-venture agreement is another milestone in establishing the international Nabucco gas pipeline project." The Nabucco project is included in the EU Trans European Network programme (TEN), and the EU has supported the feasibility study for the project. The joint-venture agreement governs co-operation between the individual companies, and incorporates adoption of the new name of the Nabucco consortium, Nabucco Gas Pipeline International Ltd, which replaced Nabucco Co Pipeline Study GmbH after completion of the feasibility study. Nabucco Co Pipeline Study GmbH was founded in June 2004. Under its new name, the company has broadened its tasks and objectives, which now include all the activities of a transmission system operator. Nabucco Gas Pipeline International Ltd is now responsible for drawing-up the financing concept of the whole project, co-ordinating the next project phases, and establishing the national Nabucco companies in the individual partner countries: Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Austria. The proposed pipeline system's planned length is approximately 3,400km; the route will run from the Georgian/Turkish and/or the Iranian/Turkish border to Baumgarten in Austria, and on to the Austrian/German and/or Austrian/Italian borders. Lengths in the partner countries are currently put at: Turkey - 1935km; Bulgaria - 400km; Romania - 495km; Hungary - 519km; and Austria - 46km. There will also be tow links in Austria from Baumgarten westwards (245 and 340km, respectively), and southwards (380km).
