“The government did not do it out of phobia, it did not tell the truth when some needed and now, while there has been this four -year delay, they are almost talking about epoching.”
“The basis for maritime spatial planning existed, but the government has not exploited it for 4 years,” said PASOK Change Maid Representative Dimitris Mantzos today.
In the aftermath of the government’s announcement by the government, Dimitris Mantzos, speaking to SKAI, stressed that “it is a very serious affair, to have been delayed four years, as it is the satisfaction of our country’s union liability in 2014. For a country like Greece, which 20% of its seas are among Natura 2000 maps, it was necessary in terms of environmental and geopolitical. “
PASOK’s parliamentary spokesman emphasized that “everything on paper is positive and matters, as it can be exploited in negotiations but also in the future in the future”, however, clarifying that “it is not the delineation of exclusive economic zone and the
Mr Mantzos recalled that “there have been many warning letters and nuisances from the European Commission as early as 2021, when the 2014 Directive’s Integration Time has ended, as well as referral and condemnation of our country to the Court of Justice of the European Union. Manolis Christodoulakis and I, responsible for environmental and foreign issues respectively, had issued two announcements on this issue in the PASOK-Motor Change. ” He explained that the government’s oligarchy is considered unjustified, as “we could, first, dwell on international law and its rules. Secondly, there is the previous one of Law 4001/2011 – “Maniatis Law”, under the government of George Papandreou, PASOK, which has identified the far limits of the EEZ and continental shelf. That is, the basis was and the government did not use it. “
According to Mr. Manzos, in the PASOK-Motion of Change “we consider that marine spatial planning, for environmental and geopolitical reasons, have not been dependent on the previous EEZ and continental shelf demarcation with neighboring countries. Unfortunately, the government did not do it out of phobia, it did not tell the truth when some needed and now, while there has been this four -year delay, they are almost talking about epoch. ” He concluded that “it is positive and necessary the step that has taken but the timing is incorrect, because there has been a delay of four years that has threatened to aggravate the geopolitical treaty of our country.”
The parliamentary spokesman stressed that “we must be more sober, prudent, serious in foreign policy issues. And on the subject of marine spatial planning as well as on the subject of Kassos. The work of the Greece -Cyprus electric interconnection is pending and must be completed. It is a project of a common European interest, European funding, links us to Cyprus, by extension with Israel, is going to transfer energy from RES and join the EU’s “Green Transition” plan -a project that, in terms of international law under Article 79 of the UNCLOS, does not even require licensing.
In addition, regarding the issue of the fourth frigate Belh@rra, Mr Mantzos noted that “we would like to have the House of Equipment Programs and Contracts Committee last Thursday. We support preventive strengthening, but we do not give a white check and we want prior information. “
Finally, it is called upon to be placed on the accuracy front, Dimitris Mantzos stressed that “it is not only the Easter season, but the whole market is more expensive in basic goods and we have documented it with elements coming from the market. Because it is a very expensive Easter that burdens the financial budgets, we had asked the government to advance pensions. If he failed to do so – which he failed to do with the algorithmic and administrative reasons he cited – let’s secure an emergency accuracy check to the low -income pensioners who currently do not have the liquidity to buy what they are composing a Easter table.
And obviously, in addition to these extraordinary reinforcement measures for the Easter period, the problem of the problem remains: First, the tax burden of employees and retirees continuing because the government has not proceeded with the taxation of the tax scale. And, secondly, there has been no sufficient market control and regulation, which has been free to be unacceptable. Every Easter and worse. “
