Greece, Cyprus, Israel push for pipeline to EU
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Cyprus announced it is joining Israel and Greece to push the European Union to consider a pipeline carrying east Mediterranean natural gas to the continent.
The proposed pipeline would link Europe with the recently discovered natural gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean, in Cypriot and Israeli waters.
A statement said Cypriot Energy Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis and his Greek counterpart Yiannis Maniatis pitched the idea to European Commission Energy Union chief Maros Sefcovic.
The officials told Sefcovic in Monday's meeting that the proposed East-Med Corridor would have a capacity of 8-12 billion cubic meters and would link Israel, Cyprus, Greece and Italy.
They said the pipeline would buttress the EU's energy security because it would pass mostly through bloc member countries.
