Greece has mapped out details of a landmark €2bn gas project with Russia, a scheme that could stir tensions with Brussels just as Athens seeks a third bail-out. Panayiotis Lafazanis, the firebrand leftist energy minister, presented the project to Greek energy executives on Thursday in a defiant speech, vowing that Athens would not be pushed around by EU institutions...

Athens and Moscow say their new project, the so-called South European Pipeline, will bring 47 billion cubic metres of Gazprom's gas into Europe by 2018. Mr Lafazanis promised that it would create 20,000 much needed jobs in Greece.
