The petrol pipe “Burgas – Alexandroupolis” was given national importance, after the government approved the project on the regular assembly yesterday.

At the end of last year, the start of construction of the petrol pipes was delayed for October 2009. Plans are to use the system as early as 2011. Earlier plans included beginning the project at the end of last year or the beginning of this year.

The government also approved the National labour plans for 2009.
