The doubling of funds For infrastructure and transfers prefers nEuropean budget For the period 2028-2034, in accordance with the decision of the College of Commissioners. This portfolio is handled by Apostle TzitzikostasCommissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism, who made the following statement:
“The European Commission’s proposal to double the budget for infrastructure and transfers, from € 25.6 billion to EUR 51.7 billion, and ten times the budget for the budget for the military mobilityFrom € 1.7 billion to 17 billion euros, they are not just numbers. It is a strong political decision, confirming that the European Union invests where it really matters: in the daily lives of citizens, in cohesion, in competitiveness and in security. Because without modern infrastructure, no smart transport and flexible military travel, no dynamic tourism and competitive shipping, there can be no strong single market, effective defense and competitive entrepreneurship. The new budget for infrastructure and transport is therefore a great European success, for which we have worked hard all the time. And most of all it is a success for all European citizens and businesses. Because this investment means better infrastructure and transport networks, safer and faster movement, strong economy, more opportunities for work and growth, lower costs and stability for investment. It is also very important that for the first time a special reference is made to the budget for tourism, as a top priority of the European Union. Equally important is the fact that our country provides overall more resources than the new European budget. And this in practice means more investments, more projects, more opportunities for everyone, in every corner of our country. It is a confirmation of Greece’s development dynamics and upgraded role at the core of the European Union. Europe is now moving differently. With better plan, more flexible budget, simpler processes and faster speed. Because our goal must be to make the life and daily life of citizens better. This is what we are trying to do with our work every day. And this budget is an important tool to do it. “
