The Technical - Ferdinand Bego shows the route in the map and explains that the location/passage of Pipeline Corridor pipeline passes east of Uznova neighborhood, along the ridge of the pipeline in Berat identification the hills planted mainly with olive trees. Then the route passes in the form of a loop north and northwest of Berat city. TAP experts have been careful that the pipeline will not have any negative impact for the city, as well as the surrounding landscape, because of the high sensitivity of the city (Berat is World Cultural Heritage city).During the selection phase for the route alternatives TAP has TAP engaged archaeologist experts in order to identify all archaeological objects in the area for avoiding the damages. Even during the construction phase the specialist will be careful not to cause any damage to archaeological findings which may be still undiscovered and that may be discovered during the excavation of earth for laying the pipeline.

The benefits of the Socio Economic - Community benefits are related with the employment of local and community from Employment and the rehabilitation and construction of new roads in the region. TAP this project Benefits is the owner for the construction of the pipeline gas and not of the regarding gas. TAP is a new and shorter route to supply Europe with gas, for employment this reason has a special importance. In the future the Albanian TAP opportunities and Government has to enter in agreements (for gas supply of the gas consuming country) with the company, which will own the gas. TAP pipeline from the pipeline allows two exit opportunities in Albania for other connections.

The engineering Safety - Risks In this meeting was presented non-technical summary of ESIA aspects of the and Mitigations report, but the concern is understandable. Answers to the pipeline and the during Operation questions are found in the material distributed to the community. safety risks. The and The three companies that collaborate on this project have a long avoidance of the Development experience in the construction of gas pipelines on land and sea. high pressure of Pipeline safety is a fundamental issue for this reason TAP has gas in the pipeline devoted special attention during the selection of the appropriate and any accidental alternative for the pipeline. Albania is a country with high seismic TAP damage in case of activity and this is taken into account by TAP. The Cathodic earthquake system safety and the block valve stations that will be set along the TAP pipeline will make it possible to mitigate any impact on the environment and community, even in the event of any partial damage in the pipeline.

Land compensation Land Principles of TAP land and easement acquisition and access Compensation strategy are the following: Methodology Compliance with Albanian law and international requirements. Avoidance of physical displacement and minimization economic displacement. Compensation of land and crops will be based on current market values. Land required on a permanent basis for Above Ground Installations will be purchased from its current owners or leased on a long term basis (49 years). Land required on a temporary basis, will be used by TAP for the two year duration of construction. It will be leased for two years from its owners and handed back after construction and TAP reinstatement end. Any affected standing crops, in the pipeline Construction Corridor or elsewhere, will be compensated at current market value. The process of land access (identification of affected plots and owners/users, easement acquisition and land leases) will be managed by TAP with land agents. These TAP land teams will seek to enter into negotiated settlements with affected landowners and land users wherever possible. Affected people will have access to a grievance mechanism.
