Greece signs up for South Stream
Greece has formally signed up to Russian gas giant Gazprom's €10 billion
($15.58 billion) South Stream gas pipeline.
Once it is operational, the pipeline, which will be jointly built by Gazprom
and Italy's Eni, will carry 31 billion cubic metres of Russian gas to
southern Europe per year.
"The signing of the agreement to construct the Greek part of the South Stream
pipeline has become the most important result (of the talks)," Russian
President Vladimir Putin said after meeting Greek Prime Minister Costas
Karamanlis.
The agreement was signed between Russian Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko and
Greek Minister of Development Christos Folias.
