[01] Deputy FM discusses know-how transferDeputy Foreign Minister Evripidis Stylianidis and German Deputy Environment and Nuclear Security Minister Michael Mueller, whose country currently holds the European Union presidency, discussed on Thursday the promotion of the transfer of energy know-how from Germany to Greece and its "re-exportation", with added value, to Arab countries."Greece will assume a key position in the sector of energy in the eastern Mediterranean and we want to do everything we can to support it to enable it to play this role correctly," Miller said after the meeting, stressing that he began his tour of EU countries from Greece. The German presidency has placed its weight in the energy sector which, as well as its methods of management, will be, according to the German official, "the key issue of the coming decades." Stylianidis said that Germany is ahead on issues concerning alternative energy sources, reminding that "we already have cooperation with German industries, such as BMW, with the University of Berlin" and stressed that "we responded to the German official's proposal on the transfer of this know-how to the countries of the eastern Mediterranean and of southeastern Europe." "We are trying to spread know-how to all the Arab countries we have visited in the past months and those which we shall be visiting in the first months of 2007," Stylianidis added.
