[01] PM: Country's indications of energy resources 'extremely auspicious'
ANA-MPA - Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, addressing a forum on "The
Future of Greek Gas and Power Markets: Looking Ahead with Optimism and
Realism" on Tuesday, said that "indications of the country's energy
resources are extremely auspicious", adding that more and more Europeans
are stressing the importance of the country's wealth of energy sources.
"From energy alone we can achieve growth that will meet every target,"
Samaras noted. "Of course, we shall not rely on energy alone. All this
necessitates investments, stability, serious planning, consistent
implementation, trust in Greece, open communication by Greece with
the world and a stabilising role of Greece in our region instead
of isolationist behaviour", the premier further said, adding that
"energy is the outstanding issue that reflects distortions of the Greek
economy".ANA-MPA -
The prime minister emphasised the need for the diversification of energy
supply sources, the development of sources in Europe to reduce dependence
from beyond the continent and completion of the internal energy market
in Europe.
He also stressed that the developments in Ukraine prove the need for
Europe's energy security and added that the TAP pipeline secures an
alternative passage of Caspian gas to be channelled to Europe. "For the
first time, Greece is entering the global energy map", Samaras said.
