This means that the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport must sign for the cleanliness of the toilets in Kazantzakis. In order to mute the lawn at regional airports, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport must sign. They now stop existing and the US is gaining much more flexibility, the structures are decreasing, so it acquires a modern administration, ”said Christos Dimas.

So what the President of the Air Traffic Controls said is not the case … because we are discussing with the service, with air traffic auditors, as well as with other civil aviation trade unions have raised very specific issues lately and has not only been concerned. This is what we would say is something we have agreed with the air traffic auditors and even rewarded us for the fact that we were so fast.
In the last six months we have passed and some very important provisions for their Air Traffic Auditors And this has to do with independent taxation when they lose their specialty, that is, the ability to work as auditors. Usually this happens one to two years before their retirement, which you believe in are hundreds of thousands of euros, such as for each of the air traffic auditors, as well as for the joint ministerial decision we signed with the Ministry of Finance for overwork, for additional funding for those who work for themselves and still worked for the hourly compensation they take to educational purposes. The cooperation we had with the air traffic auditors was quite good, “he said.
‘An air traffic controller with significant experience can take up and over 120,000 euros annually…. The earnings of the Greek state are very important and they are obviously taxable.

In terms of TempiChristos Dimas said: “We all want to start the trial for Tempi quickly and correctly. Obviously we do not interfere with justice. We understand the parents’ request for exhumation and I think this, as it was decided, will go ahead. But to be able to move forward quickly to the hearing And I mean on the part of Greek justice, I think it is something that all citizens want. After all, let’s not forget that the very high rallies that took place last February, it was exactly what they were asking to get to justice and to punish the perpetrators».
