[01] Support of SMEs is priority for exiting the crisis, gov't VP Dragasakis says

The conference is organised by the European Commission (Directorate-General for the Internal Market, Industry, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Entrepreneurship - DG GROW) and the Ministry of Economy and Development.

Dragasakis pointed out that dealing with the problems of the past is not enough, adding that "we must respond to the challenges of the future."

As he stated, "we need to develop a new strategy and perception of the position and role of small and medium-sized enterprises in post-memorandum Greece." He added that the development of sustainable SMEs is a necessary condition for the transition to a new model of fair and sustainable development.
