Both Greece and the European Union view this project as a positive development towards offering alternative routes of natural gas supplies to Europe". "Greece and Italy are working closely on a large project, along with Turkey and Caspian states, to build an underwater natural gas project supported by the European Union, scheduled to begin construction in 2008," Sioufas said, while again pointing to Greece's emergence as an energy hub in the wider region.
