[01] EconMin Stathakis: Seeking funding for infrastructure projects is
top priority
ANA/MPA---Economy, Infrastructure, Shipping and Tourism Minister George
Stathakis reiterated its intention not to pursue any new privatisations
during a meeting with the British ambassador to Greece, John Kittmer.
Stathakis briefed Kittmer on his ministry's priorities which include
planning the new programme to receive EU funds, as well as joint private
and state investments. He said one of the ministry's top goals is to seek
new sources of funding for infrastructure projects and change legislation
regarding the release of subsidies.
Kittmer, on his side, presented Stathakis with the British investments
which have been made in Greece in the sectors of tourism, pharmaceuticals
and infrastructure and expressed his certainty that the structural
reforms which the government is planning to implement will invite new
investors in all the aforementioned sectors, as well as in energy.
The British envoy also spoke of the close cooperation between the two
countries in shipping and the stable relationship between London and
Piraeus since World War II.
