International Law: No permit required for the electricity interconnection cable
The major electricity interconnection project that is set to link Europe with the Middle East is at the center of current events. This is a significant piece of infrastructure aimed at strengthening energy security and cooperation between the countries of the region.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Chatzivassiliou, addressed the issue, clarifying the legal aspects of the project. According to his statements, no special permit is required for laying the cable, as the project is based on the provisions of International Law.
Mr. Chatzivassiliou described the project as a "peaceful infrastructure" that will offer multiple benefits. This interconnection is expected to play a decisive role in energy transmission, strengthening the role of Greece and the wider region on the energy map.
The government emphasizes that the implementation of this specific project is moving within the framework of legality. This position comes in response to questions that had arisen regarding the procedures and permits required for placing the cable on the seabed.
The completion of this infrastructure is considered an important step for energy stability. The relevant authorities are continuing preparations, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation for the successful outcome of the project.
