These projects:
(1) deepen the EU’s dependence on fossil fuels – putting into question the EU’s ability to meet climate change targets;
(2) threaten the unique marine environment and incomes and lives connected to it;
(3) deepen the EU’s complicity with Israeli violations of international law;
(4) are economically questionable.
PENGON/Friends of the Earth Palestine therefore calls on the EU and the governments of Greece and Cyprus to:
- Withdraw the current tender for the Eurasia Interconnector, remove the project from the list of Projects of Common Interest and put the overall project on hold.
- Cancel the feasibility study and remove the EastMed Gas Pipeline from the PCI list.
- Warn European companies and investors of the legal, economic and security risks of involvement in Israel’s gas projects
- Reconsider EU investment in the natural gas projects included in the third PCI given their negative impact on climate change and human rights.
