The Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan, stated that the gas extraction platform in the Neptun Deep perimeter benefits from protection under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, which guarantees collective defense in the event of an attack. However, Ivan emphasized that this protection does not extend to the associated critical infrastructure, such as transport pipelines. This distinction is important as it highlights the limits of NATO coverage regarding Romania's energy security. Ivan stressed the need to assess and protect critical infrastructure to ensure adequate energy security.
