will tap into gas reserves from israel's offshore leventon basin and carry it to the greek island of crete then it joins the great mainland and runs to italy it could provide the european union with 10 percent of its natural gas needs. so here it is on the map as a starting over in israel's leventon basin off shore gas reserves through create up into the greek mainland. more from john psaropoulos now he's reporting from athens. the east med pipeline agreement that is being signed is a statement of political will between the governments of israel greece and cyprus they are settling legal and political issues but surrounds the construction of this 1900 kilometer pipeline stretching from the israeli and cypriot gas fields of the eastern mediterranean to the boot of italy and bringing up to 4 percent of europe's natural gas needs if and when this pipeline is built and starts operating roughly 2025 the middle of the decade the actual construction of the pipeline will only begin once the consortium in charge of it a company that is comprised of greece's natural gas corporation and the italian co
