Two Greek experts are likely to join the group of monitors agreed to
supervise the flow of natural gas in the Russian-Ukrainian border. The
effort to settle the impasse has eased the worries of the Greek
government, despite the fact that measures have been stepped up to meet
the needs of households and industries. Greece's Public Power
Corporation (PPC) assured Development Minister Kostis Hatzidakis that
there was no risk of power cuts. Hatzidakis, on his part, made it plain
that power rates will not be revised.

Greece's Development Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and Russia's ambassador
to Greece Andrei Vdovin met Friday and discussed the gas crisis
triggered due to the strained relations between Russia and Ukraine.
Hatzidakis said there is a slight progress on the matter.
"Greece's keynote priority is energy sufficiency. We face no problems.
We are closely cooperating with the Greek Public Gas Corporation, and
as you may realize, gas sufficiency has been my key priority," said

Russian ambassador.
