EU should provide assistance to Cyprus in its efforts to exploit its natural resources, Energy Minister Yiorgos Lakkotrypis has said.
Speaking at the EU Energy Council in Luxembourg, the Minister said that security of energy supply remains a major issue with a direct impact on the economy and quality of life of European citizens.
He expressed the view that the EU will be able to enhance its energy security, primarily from the exploitation of its own domestic sources such as the natural gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean.
