GJIROKASTRA, Sept. 19 – Gjirokastra officials passed Tuesday a project of the Swiss company EGL to supply liquid gas. EGL’s manager Gert Moser said that the project would make possible the construction of the TAP project and link eastern with western Europe. This project would pass in three countries _ Greece, Albania and Italy for some hundreds of kilometers. In Albania it will be some 200 kilometers out of its total of 500 kilometers. Moser said that the investment would be some 600 million euro. The trans-Adriatic trace and the terminal of the liquid gas in the Albanian territory will ask for some 250 million euro investment and it will employ some 300 persons during construction and 80 when it is completed, according to Moser. All the line will be put 1.5 meter under the earth and there will be a secure environment.
