Like the Federal Chancellor, I see the energy agreements signed today between Russian and German partners as being of immense importance. This project is genuinely impressive in its scope. The gas pipeline we intend to build will have a length of 1,200 kilometres and will follow a route along the Baltic Sea bed from Vyborg to Greifswald on the German coast with branches running to Sweden, Finland and Russias Kaliningrad Region. Future plans include building another branch running across the Netherlands to Backton in Britain. This would take the pipelines total length to 3,000 kilometres. The pipeline has total design capacity of almost 20 billion cubic metres a year and could be increased in 2011 to 55 billion cubic metres a year. The first part of the project will cost around $2 billion and the projects total cost is $5.7 billion. We hope that the launch of such an ambitious project as this will give new impetus to the overall energy dialogue between Russia and the European Union.
Of course, this project will contribute to developing the energy dialogue between Russia and Germany. The main principles of our cooperation in this area are set out in the Joint Declaration on Energy Cooperation between Russia and Germany. The Federal Chancellor and I finalised the text of this declaration today.
Important steps have also been taken in going ahead with plans to set up embly plants in Russia for carmakers daimler-Chrysler and Volkswagen. I hope that these plans will be carried out soon. I had the pleasure of speaking with German colleagues today and I saw that they are quite optimistic. I hope that these plans will be carried out.
I hope that Russias settlement of debt commitments to the Paris Club ahead of schedule is also having a positive impact on the German economy. Just to remind you, the German budget has already received $6 billion as part of this debt settlement agreement.
The Chancellor just mentioned humanitarian cooperation. I would like to say a few words in particular on this subject. Of course, compared to such large-scale projects as the energy agreement that was signed here today, cooperation between our doctors does not seem at first glance to be of such significance. But I think that cooperation in such areas lays, in fact, an excellent foundation for our work together in all the other sectors. Just recently I spoke with Russian doctors working in the difficult and responsible area of treating children with cancer. They are here today and they told me that over the last 15 years, over this very difficult period during which Russia had to deal with so many domestic political and economic problems, their German colleagues gave their time and resources and provided all the help they could and all practically for free. I would like to thank them for this and I bow low before them. Now we in Russia have the opportunity to focus more on this area and give it the attention and the resources it needs. We plan to build a new centre and our specialists say that the help and support of our German colleagues will be very valuable in this undertaking. The main thing is that now we are not asking Germany to finance the project it will be financed entirely by Russian organisations and the Russian budget.
We place great value on youth exchanges and national youth exchange coordination offices will begin working in Moscow and Hamburg by the end of this year. I am sure that this will benefit cooperation between our countries.
