I do not know when you observed, however yesterday in Parliament “the elephant was within the room” and “danced” and … rock! The dialogue of the issue of accuracy was very … wealthy, when you think about that in the long run it got here right down to the slice! Sure, sure on the value of the slice. And I guarantee you that the Minister of Improvement Mr. Kostas Skrekas, who had his honor in fact, had nothing to do with the difficulty. In truth, to the purpose that on the finish the Deputy Minister of State and authorities consultant, Mr. Pavlos Marinakis, made statements accusing the president of SYRIZA – PS, Mr. Stefanos Kasselakis “for an try at gross deception on the difficulty of value comparability”. And he referred to as him “oil vendor” and… “snake vendor”!
Irritation
After all, this sort of characterization signifies extreme … irritation. If I get it proper…. As a result of plainly the findings of the Prime Minister Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis – he at all times makes attention-grabbing findings, there isn’t a doubt! – they weren’t sufficient to help the “line of protection” they’d fashioned! All in opposition to one. It isn’t a simple recreation….
Query solved!
However let’s begin issues from the start. In response to the opposition’s criticism that Greek merchandise are bought cheaper overseas than within the Greek market, Mr. Mitsotakis talked about the case of feta, saying that “the feta in Greece, based on the newest information: 6.28 in Greece, 8 .98 within the UK, 8.68 in Spain, 10.63 in Portugal’! They usually have been all boneless! As a result of these costs are both wholesale costs or they aren’t kilo costs! And the related trolling adopted. Justifiably. Nonetheless, everybody’s query was lastly solved by Mr. Marinakis. Who stated that that is the worth of the five hundred gram bundle! Say it my man. Why did customers virtually tear down the supermarkets to purchase feta cheese for six.28 euros per kilo!
Mr. Nikos Androulakis
And for the reason that query in regards to the slice has been resolved, let me inform you that the president of PASOK/KINAL, Mr. Nikos Androulakis, made a really attention-grabbing criticism! He referred, amongst others, to one of many 4 proposals included within the letter of Mr. Mitsotakis to the president of the European Fee Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen!

No Greek markings?
The prime minister particularly requests from “Pricey Ursula…” that the businesses that distribute the merchandise in any nation – and in Greece in fact – are usually not obliged to position markings within the language of every nation. There’s a danger on this case that the acquis of the “small languages” being equal to the “large” ones inside the single market shall be annulled! I ought to word, nevertheless, that in the meanwhile when Mr. Androulakis made the related criticism, Mr. Mitsotakis appeared on the tv digicam reasonably embarrassed and leaned in direction of Mr. Skrekas subsequent to him. I can not know if the Minister of Improvement has made him any wiser….

Aivaliotis
With out a franc within the… piggy financial institution, Europe’s vitality autonomy will hardly be achieved.
This, kind of, was supported by the Common Secretary of Power and Mineral Uncooked Supplies of the Ministry of Atmosphere and Power (YPEN), Mr. Telis Aivaliotis, in the course of the first assembly in Brussels of the board for Important Uncooked Supplies (CRM – Important Uncooked Materials), by which participated as a nationwide consultant.
As I be taught, in the course of the dialogue the secretary common identified the necessity for the European Fee to endow a brand new particular fund for CRMs, as international locations that wouldn’t have the chance to create nationwide funds (equivalent to Greece) won’t be able to cowl the required subsidies. And the prevailing European funds have many different priorities to handle.
France
In truth, based on my sources, Mr. Aivaliotis’ place additionally discovered an ally. The delegation of France moved on an identical wavelength, and the Fee appears to be listening to the related proposal.
An thought developed within the dialogue was additionally the creation of strategic European stockpiles of Important Uncooked Supplies. The European Union doesn’t, in contrast to the US, Japan, South Korea, China, Russia and India.
Strategic investments
The following step shall be to submit purposes by August twenty second for CRM investments to be categorized as strategic (they are going to be judged in November) and to have the ability to be submitted for funding to one of many current European funds (Innovation Fund, Cohesion Fund) or to seek out simple lending from the European Funding Financial institution (EIB), the EBRD, or different nationwide funding banks.
Service one-stop
Nonetheless, it’s the obligation of all international locations, based mostly on the Important Uncooked Supplies Directive, to ascertain for investments in CRM a one-stop service that can “run” the licensing procedures which have to be accomplished in solely two years, when in most EU international locations ( as in our nation) as much as eight years is required.
The 34 CRMs embody minerals and metals equivalent to bauxite/aluminum, nickel, cobalt, copper, antimony, gallium, germanium, manganese, magnesium, graphite, arsenic, which exist in Greece. Some mining fields are in full manufacturing whereas in others the deposits are being evaluated for his or her viability.
The paperwork of Brussels
Mr. Aivaliotis could also be proper within the request for the creation of a particular fund, however we should level out the hopelessly sluggish tempo at which Brussels is shifting.
Suffice it to let you know that it’s virtually a 12 months for the reason that European Council adopted the Neighborhood directive on the 34 important mineral uncooked supplies and the purposes for funding financing from the European funds are simply now being opened…
