The 800 km Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) project has gained momentum over the past month with full support from the governments of Greece, Italy and Albania, and a pre-qualification process inviting steel pipe producers to provide an expression of interest in preparation for construction.
The tri-lateral Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) was signed in February 2013 solidifying a range of key commitments by Greece, Italy, and Albania to the forward development, construction, and operation of the TAP pipeline. Within the framework of the Community Treaties and the Energy Community Treaty, the IGA will ensure that the states co-operate in the timely delivery and efficient operation of TAP.
