Samaras: Greece's Signs of Energy Find "Extremely Auspicious"

samarasGreek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said “indications of the country’s energy resources are extremely auspicious” at a conference Tuesday
Addressing a conference concerning “The Future of Greek Gas and Power Markets: Looking Ahead with Optimism and Realism”, he said more and more European partners acknowledge the importance of Greece’s wealth of energy sources.
“From energy alone we can achieve growth that will meet every target. Of course, we shall not rely on energy alone. All this necessitates investments, stability, serious planning, consistent implementation, trust in Greece, open communication by Greece with the world and a stabilising role of Greece in our region instead of isolationist behaviour,” Samaras noted, adding “energy is the outstanding issue that reflects distortions of the Greek economy”.
The Greek prime minister pointed out the need for the diversification of energy sources, the development of sources in Europe in order to reduce dependency on supplies from beyond the continent, and the completion of the European energy market.
He also reported that the situation in Ukraine proves that the EU must adopt an energy security policy and added that the TAP pipeline (Trans-Adriatic Pipeline) provides an alternative passage of Caspian gas to be channelled to Europe, noting that Greece is putting itself on the international energy map.
