“There is no protection of their first residence and their professional home artisans and merchants with the fault of all those who ruled the country from 2010 until today” emphasized the president of GSEVEE Giorgos Kavvathas at the meeting of the Steering Committee of the KEEE that met in Rethymnon on Saturday and even called on the parties and the government “…without crediting anyone for the benefit politically, to submit a joint proposal for a law guaranteeing the first residence of Greeks and the professional housing of small businesses”.
The president of GSEVEE pointed out that “in a society that is really short-sold by large businesses, in contrast to the vast majority of chamber members who are small, medium, small and very small businesses and self-employed and a society that lives accuracy in its daily life, with its daily needs and the profiteering and cartels that have been created both in the food and fuel and electricity providers’.

Review of the Recovery Fund – No cuts to the NSRF
According to Mr. Kavvathas, if there is no political will from the government the problems will be perpetuated and the development of the country will not be development for all but for a few. For this reason he proposed: “…to revise the recovery and resilience fund if possible even today. To change, because it has no resources for the small and very small businesses that make up 99% of the businesses the country has. Also, the NSRF should not have cutters of 2 or 3 or 10 requests for work units, which means that these businesses cannot enter the programs, so they will be left out of the digital transition and green economy. “So we are essentially driving them to Kaiada by applying the imperative of the Pissarides report that there are many small businesses in Greece and they must close.”
The president of GSEVEE also said that in Greece and Europe the majority of businesses are small and very small businesses, at a rate of 90 to 96% and yet they have 87% of employment. “In other words, more than 2 million of our fellow citizens work in companies represented by GSEVEE. It needs funding and resources and they do not exist, because the banking system is systemic and can only lend to 49,500 businesses out of a total of 800,000 businesses because it considers them worthy and of course the big problem, that of the cost of operating businesses which has increased in the last 2 years by 40% on average as well as the other big problem of private debt and overdue obligations of businesses and households. We can’t continue to have about 2 million bank accounts tied up, not have an unrestricted feeder account to small businesses so they can actually survive and create new jobs as well.”
“Excessive” fines in Greece
Finally, Mr. Kavvathas commented on the fines that exist in Greece in the world of business, saying that “the fines in Greece are excessive, they are not compliance fines but of a collection nature and closure of businesses. At the same time, however, there is a very dominant issue and problem, and that is that there is no protection of the first residence and the professional accommodation of the professionals and traders, due to the fault of all those who ruled the country from 2010 until today”.
