ANA-MPA - A new action set up to help Greece absorb more EU funding
appears to have borne the first results, as the country absorbed
nearly 183 million euros as of mid-March, when it began its work,

According to data sent by the European Commission to ANA-MPA, Greece
has been paid the following amounts, from March 13 to April 23:
108 million euros from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural
Development; 52.19 mln from the European Social Fund; 20.11 mln from
the European Regional Development Fund; and 2.57 mln from the Youth
Employment Initiative.
The setting up of the team was decided during a meeting of Prime Minister
Alexis Tsipras with European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, to
speed up the absorption of the current NSRF funding programme and the
disbursement of unused funds from the previous one.
Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis represents the European Commission, as
