According to foreign media reports recently, Greek refiner Hellenic Petroleum decided to purchase oil from the National Iranian Oil Company. Both parties have reached a long-term agreement, and crude oil delivery will begin immediately. Immigrating to Greece investors learned that this cooperation marks the first time since the lifting of Iranian trade sanctions that Iranian crude oil has been sold to European countries.
The agreement was reached after Greek and Iranian officials met in Athens on Friday to discuss energy issues. After meeting with Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Amir-Hossein Zamaninia, Greek Energy Minister Panos Skourletis said that the two sides discussed a series of issues, including oil supply, natural gas, and renewable energy.
