Both the Prime Minister of Greece and the President of the Republic of Cyprus have expressed their positions on the issue, Finance Minister Makis Keravnos has said, in relation to the European Commission’s response to a question by the Cyprus News Agency on the Cyprus-Greece electricity interconnection project, known as GSI.
In statements after a 8 October meeting with the General Secretariat of SEK trade union on the tax reform, and, asked by a journalist to comment on the position expressed by the European Commission through a spokesperson to a question by CNA on the implementation of the Cyprus-Greece electricity interconnection (GSI), the Minister said, “All I can say is that very recently, at the highest level, both the Prime Minister of Greece and the President of the Republic have expressed their positions on the issue called GSI.”
He noted that he had nothing to add.
Earlier, the European Commission, through a spokesperson's response to the Cyprus News Agency, expressed its expectation for all parties to commit to the rapid implementation of the GSI, following recent developments and statements from Nicosia and Athens. The Commission emphasised that any additional delay harms all sides involved.
In its response to CNA, the Commission notes that “we expect all Parties to commit to as rapid an implementation of the project as possible. Ultimately, any further delay is to the detriment of the parties involved.”
