The Greek government is seeking private sector's participation in big
infrastructure projects through the assignment of sections of the
country's national road network to private investors, National Economy
Undersecretary Christos Pachtas said on Friday.
The assignment contracts will be signed following tendering, due to
begin this year.
Pachtas said sections of the national road network likely to be
assigned to private investors were: the Korinth-Tripolis-Kalamata road
(162 km), the Korinth-Patras road (120 km), Yliki-Maliakos (83 km),
Larissa-Katerini (73 km), the E-65 section (244 km) in central Greece,
linking Volos and Lamia with the Egnatia Road and the Ionia Road (222
km) in western Greece, linking Ioannina with Agrinio and Patras.
Pachtas said the government was drafting a new legislation covering
assignment contracts aimed at simplifying procedures, ensuring correct
construction of projects and attracting private investments.
