The EastMed pipeline is a “plan of peace and cooperation, a plan that uses energy as a catalyst for positive developments on an economic level, for the economic growth of the broader region of the southeast Mediterranean,” Environment and Energy Minister Kostis Hatzidakis noted in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) radio station ‘Praktoreio 104.9 FM’ on Friday.
Talking about the signature of the intergovernmental deal for the pipeline by Greece, Cyprus and Israel on Thursday and its significance for Greece and the surrounding region, he noted that, apart from the obvious message that the three countries were coming closer, “it also boosts energy security in Europe because it increases the supply sources, the alternative solutions in relation to natural gas.”
