Italy now expected to co-sign EastMed pipeline agreement, Government Spokesman says
After the signing of the intergovernmental agreement on the EastMed pipeline by the Energy Ministers of Cyprus, Greece and Israel, on Thursday in Athens, we expect Italy to co-sign the agreement soon, Government Spokesman Kyriacos Koushos has said.
“The signing of the agreement serves the energy interests of not just the four participating countries, but of Europe as a whole as it provides an alternative solution for uninterrupted gas flow” to the continent, Koushos said. Speaking to CNA, he added that this is something Europe also acknowledges, by funding the pipeline’s feasibility studies.
