[01] Greece signs TAP pipeline host agreement
ANA-MPA -- Greece's Environment, Energy and Climate Change ministry
on Friday officially announced it has reached an agreement with the
consortium Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) over the content of a Host
Government Agreement.
"The agreement, safeguarding the stability of investment climate, is the
final stage of our country's efforts to supporting the TAP project in
a selection process of the Shah Deniz II consortium," the ministry said.
The official ceremony for the signing of the agreement will be held on
a ministerial level in the next few days.
"With today's finalization of a Host Government Agreement for TAP,
our country offers another advantage to the TAP project ahead of final
decisions by Shah Deniz II. Our strong commitment, with the speedy
completion of all necessary procedures, combined with an impeccable
cooperation with Italy and Albania helped to highlight TAP as a strong
contender and an equal rival of Nabucco West as an alternative supply
root and energy security in the European Union," deputy minister Makis
Papageorgiou said.
The deputy minister noted that latest developments in the energy sector
enhanced the government's efforts to boost Greece's geopolitical position
and confirmed investment interest for the country.
