[01] TAP natural gas agreement to be signed Wed.
Greece is formalising an agreement on the TAP natural gas pipeline
with a signing at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Grande Bretagne hotel,
it was announced.
The Host Government Agreement will be signed by Finance Minister Yannis
Stournaras and Environment, Energy and Climate Change Deputy Minister
Asimakis Papageorgiou, on the Greek side, and TAP Managing Director
Kjetil Tungland.
The rejection by the Shah Deniz consortium of Azerbaijan of Nabucco as
one of two contenders for transferring natural gas to Europe opens the
way for the Trans-Atlantic Pipeline (TAP) as the preferred pipeline
conductor, press reports said on Wednesday.
The consortium's choice between two competing pipelines - TAP, going
through Greece, and Nabucco, circumventing it - was expected by the
end of the month. The decision is of major importance to Greece, who is
signing its final agreement with TAP this evening.
