Specific Criteria Fulfilled Comments
Market Integration The project provides significant contribution to Market Integration as it allows to interconnect Cyprus and Crete to
European gas network system. Security of Supply The contribution of EastMed project to Security of Supply is particularly relevant as it
provides diversification of sources, routes and counterparts, providing solutions to the disruption scenarios. An additional benefit will be
provided by enabling the gasification of Cyprus, Crete and Western Greece. Competition The EastMed project will enhance market competition
along the whole gas chain, including among producers. The new gas will compete, to the advantage of the consumer, with all existing supplies
available in the European markets, enhancing the benefits arising from a better diversified market. Sustainability The Eastmed project will
provide competitive gas supply, contributing to displace power production from Coal and Oil, reducing CO2 emissions per energy unit
generated.
