Production Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Minister Panos Skourletis has met with a team of leading TAP (Trans-Adriatic Pipeline) project officials to discuss pending issues concerning construction of the gas pipeline’s Greek segment. The pipeline will primarily carry Azeri natural gas to Europe via Greece.

TAP Managing Director Ian Bradshaw, the pipeline’s country manager in Greece, Rikard Scoufias, and TAP’s External Affairs Director, Michael Hoffmann, all took part in the meeting, during which technical issues and terms for the project were discussed and clarified.

Both sides agreed to soon stage another meeting with the involvement of technical officials in order to resolve any pending issues ahead of construction of the Greek segment.
