Grecia y Alemania firman acuerdo sobre submarinos /Greece, German Firm Settle Long-Running Sub Clash

Grecia anunció el trece de marzo un acuerdo con Alemania el pasado 13 de marzo, sobre la larga disputa que mantenía sobre los submarions ThyssenKrupp suministrados. La disputa comenzó cuando la marina griega rechazó el primer subamarino, el Papanikolis, por considerarlo detectable. Al parecer el acuerdo consiste en la venta de un submarino a un tercer país, y adquiriría dos mas, a cambio de recibir una compensación.

Greece announced March 13 that it had reached an agreement with German defense group ThyssenKrupp in a long-running dispute over the supply of four submarines.
The row began when Athens rejected the first submarine supplied by ThyssenKrupp, the Papanikolis, on the grounds that it was defective.
Greek Defense Minister Evangelos Venizelos said a resolution had been found for the deal, which has been blocked since 2006.
Media reports in Greece suggest that under the agreement, Athens will acknowledge receipt of the Papanikolis, which will be sold to a third party, and order two further submarines from Hellenic Shipyards.
In return, the defense company will drop a compensation claim for breach of contract, reports said.
