In 2016, the four countries agreed to develop the necessary infrastructure for the realisation of the so-called Vertical Gas Corridor, SKIATHOS THESSALONIKI TAXI which will enable bidirectional gas flows from Greece to northern Europe, through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.
"In coordination with DESFA, we have the opportunity to increase this capacity (to) up to 5 billion cubic meters per year," two senior executives at ICGB said, adding this should happen along with the commissioning of the LNG terminal off Alexandroupolis due in 2024.
But gas price caps have split the 27-country bloc.
While Italy, Spain, Belgium, Malta and Greece criticised the proposed cap for how to get to Pelion being too high or unlikely to ever kick in, countries including Germany and the Netherlands are sceptical of capping gas prices - warning that this could deter suppliers from sending much-needed gas to Europe.

ICGB, the owner of a second gas link between Greece and Bulgaria (IGB) - a key part of the Vertical Gas Corridor which began operations this year - and Gastrade, the developer of a floating storage and regasification unit off the northern Greek port of Alexandroupolis, also signed the agreement on Thursday.
"(It) is an important step towards the implementation of the Vertical Corridor, a project that will significantly contribute to the supply security of the wider region," Chief Executive of DESFA Maria Rita Galli said in the statement.
"It's essential that bands, artists, musicians and DJs can travel Europe at every level of their career. Europe is part of the geographic working space," Primal Scream bass player Simone Marie Butler said in a statement.
ATHENS, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary agreed on Thursday to upgrade the interconnection and transport capacity of their gas grids, part of their long-standing efforts to diversify gas sources and Pelion taxi service boost their role in Europe's energy supply chain.
Five years since Britons voted to leave the European Union, the #LetTheMusicMove campaign says Brexit-related expenditure, restrictions and bureaucracy are "making EU touring unviable and threatens the future success of British music".
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - More than 200 music artists, including Radiohead, The Chemical Brothers and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, backed a campaign on Wednesday calling on the British government to reduce costs and red tape to make post-Brexit touring around Europe easier.

The EU proposal came under fire from countries in favour of a gas price cap to reduce citizens' high energy bills - with Poland's energy minister calling the proposal "a joke" and CRUISES VOLOS TAXI analysts suggesting it was designed with such strict criteria that it would never be used.
After months of infighting among EU countries who disagree on whether to cap energy costs, the European Commission last week proposed a price cap that would kick in if the front-month Title VOLOS KORINTHOS TRANSFER Facility gas price exceeded 275 euros per megawatt-hour for two weeks and was 58 euros higher than a liquefied natural gas reference price for 10 days.
Under the memorandum of understanding signed on Thursday on the sidelines of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) conference in Athens, Greece's DESFA, Bulgaria's Bulgartransgaz, Hungary's FGSZ and Romania's SNTGN Transgaz agreed to begin talks on regulatory and VOLOS KORINTHOS TRANSFER economic aspects of the corridor, DESFA said in a statement.
