PM Mitsotakis meets with EC vice-president Margaritis Schinas

Greece is at the heart of European affairs and Europe is the protagonist in all of these, Schinas said

PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with Margaritis Schinas, EC vice-president and European Commissioner for Promoting our European Way of Life in Athens on Thursday.

“We are at the forefront of disbursements having submitted a coherent plan whose benefits concern the entire Greek society “, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis regarding the National Recovery and Resilience Plan while focusing on the excellent level of cooperation during the last three years with the Vice President of the European Commission. “I think we have achieved a lot in these three years in extremely adverse conditions,” Mitsotakis emphasised at the beginning of the meeting.

“I want to make it clear that the way of revising the Recovery Fund is determined by the founding act of the fund itself. Casual talks about the renegotiation of the Fund with a law and an article should not be heard because once again they mislead Greek public opinion and create expectations which are completely unfounded”, added the Prime Minister

“We are, indeed, in the “Champions League” of the Recovery Fund. I believe we will have good news tomorrow from Brussels on this matter. Another equally important issue is the approval earlier this week of the national plan, the Greek plan for the new CAP amounting to 13.6 billion euros”, emphasised Schinas, adding that “the conclusion is that in all of these, Greece is at the heart of European affairs and Europe is the protagonist in all of these. I think this is the safest lesson of the three years”.
