Right-wing Democratic Rally (DISY) declared on Wednesday that it agrees with the possibility of importing natural gas for EAC’s needs, as an interim solution, until the exploitation of deposits in the Cypriot EEZ is feasible.

In its announcement, DISY said “it should be made clear that any pre-selection of method or technology and any pre-foreclosure can not have a call in the international invitation of interest”.

“Through open and transparent procedures we should seek the most advantageous price for gas. This should be the dominant and decisive criterion because only in this way we will achieve the ultimate goal of reducing the price of electricity for the Cypriot consumer”, the announcement added.
