EU gives green signal to Iran-India gas pipeline

The European Union, which will soon kick-off an energy dialogue with India, has said it is not opposed to a $4.16 billion pipeline project to pump gas from Iran to India through Pakistan.

“Our position on Iran-Pak-India gas pipeline project is different from that of the United States,” which was against the project in the face of Iran’s hidden nuclear programme, a senior EU official told visiting Indian journalists.
