The New Democracy MEP George Eutias, As a member of the Committee on Finance and the Budget Committee, he is calling for equal funding from the Commission to protect the Greek borders along with the eastern European border, as Turkey has not lifted it. Case of war Against Greece.
In his question, the MEP points out that, in the European funding, the Greek border, which is European, as they extend from Evros to Kastelorizo and Crete, should also be included in European funding. Therefore, the European Commission should implement a rigorous decision of 2024 of the European Parliament’s Economic Committee, which for the first time set the funding of Europe’s eastern borders. In his question, he concludes: “Gentlemen of the European Commission, as you know very well, the EU is not only threatened by Russia but also by Turkey on the basis of repeated threats of Turkish officials as well as maps that demonstrate these threats.”
The complete question is:
Recently, European Commission President Ursula von der Laien in her speech referred to the need to support the eastern border of the European Union. It goes without saying that any European funding for the protection and guarding of the border should also concern the eastern and southern border of Greece, which extend from Evros to Kastelorizo and from Kastelorizo to Crete. As a member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and the European Parliament’s budget committee, I have repeatedly emphasized the necessity of this issue, as Turkey has not lifted Casus Belli against Greece, while at the same time moving outside international law against my country through the illegal Turkoliby. In addition, the protection and guard of Europe’s eastern borders was first voted in 2024 in the European Parliament’s Economic Committee. It is worth noting that the threat does not only come from Russia. On a permanent basis, directly or indirectly, Turkey is raising threats against Greece’s territorial integrity, which have also been expressed by representatives of the Turkish state.
Based on this data the European Commission:
1) Will all the eastern European border be funded in total?
2) Will you strengthen the EU’s southeastern border with equal funding as well as the north, as is the shielding of the whole of Europe?
