For a decisive role and comparative advantage of Greek shipping, which is a pioneer and leading power worldwide and owned 60% of the European, the Minister of Maritime and Island Policy said, Vasilis Kikilias, In statements he made on the sidelines of “European Shipping Summit” in Brussels.
As the Minister pointed out, “Europe has to understand and integrate into its strategies and policies all this development volume of Greek shipping, with such a regulatory framework, so that it is not in weakness over global data and competitors.ยป.
The following is the following statement by Mr. Kikilia:
It is a very important opportunity to emphasize that Greek shipping is a pioneer and leader worldwide.
20% of the commercial fleet worldwide and together with European shipping are, in my opinion, a comparative advantage of growth, trade and negotiating power for Europe.
Europe has to understand this and integrate into its strategies and policies throughout this development volume, with such a regulatory framework, so that it is not in weakness over global data and competitors.
It is obvious that growth in America and growth in China is so great that our European family must invent new ways to strengthen economically, growth, commercially and be more competitive.
So I look forward to cooperation with the European Commission and the Presidency so that we can integrate all these good practices that will lead to competitiveness, further development and in force for our shipping.
After all, the recent crises- one of them was the global public health crisis- have shown that shipping plays a key and key role in how loads are transferred to primary production, trade, industry and has now reached 70% in Europe.
We will use this comparative advantage we have and support the people of shipping at all levels so that we can achieve our goals. “
