FACTBOX-Europe LNG import terminals to open by 2011

LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - There are several liquefied
natural gas projects in Europe but most have faced long delays
and only four are expected to open before next winter.

All of the projects under contruction or committed to by
their developers are in western European countries that, with
the exception of Italy, have been relatively unaffected by the
Russian gas row.

The only project in the Balkans, one of the worst affected
by the two-week supply cuts, is the Adria LNG project in Croatia
which has not yet been committed to and is not expected to start
up until at least 2012.

Below are some of the new LNG terminals due to open over the
next two years.
