Government vice president meets Regional Policy Commissioner

Government vice president Theodoros Pangalos met on Friday with Regional Policy Commissioner Johannes Hahn. The Commissioner briefed, among other things, the vice president on the European Commission’s new proposals on the operation of the structural funds after 2013.

It was also stressed during the meeting that 2011 will be a decisive year both for the absorption of the European funds of ESPA and their immediate channeling to the Greek market.

ESPA’s funds will contribute to increasing employment, strengthening entrepreneurship and, in particular, supporting small and medium-size enterprises, as well as modernising economic activity in Greece.
