The Eastern Mediterranean option regarding Cyprus' energy deposits and EastMed is a more medium-term option for the EU, as it will take some time to implement the investments needed, Energy, Trade and Industry Minister Natasha Pileidou said today.
Asked after the Cabinet meeting to comment on reports that global energy developments may bring the EastMed pipeline project back to the forefront, Pileidou said that "we certainly hope that the development of the Aphrodite field and the other fields in Cyprus, which can be an alternative source of energy supply to the EU and other markets, will come to the fore."
