“It is very difficult for me to explain to the citizens is the fact that eWe are a country-country country in green transition but at the same time ending up having higher electricity values from many other European countries, “he said Kyriakos Mitsotakis At today’s meeting with the European Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Yorgensen. “Southeast European countries seem to be punished because of insufficient interconnections, but also because of the fact that the target model does not always seem to work in ways we fully understand in terms of energy pricing,” the prime minister noted and underlined:: ‘It is obvious that something is not working properly’.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed the belief that the issue is not only about Greece, but the whole of Europe and made the first priority to create a well -operated European electricity market.
The Prime Minister reported and in the question of housingstressing that Affordable housing was not a problem in Greece a few years ago. He argued that rise in prices is the result of economic growthwhich has put pressure on the real estate market. He called on the Commissioner to express his views on how we can approach this problem from a European perspective and what Greece can expect regarding European funds that could potentially be made available to the issue of accessible housing.
On his part, The European Commissioner acknowledged to be “somewhat paradoxical” Greece on the one hand is among the pioneers of green energy and on the other to pay too much for energy. The Commission ‘is determined to help reduce prices and indeed The most effective we can do is to ensure that we will facilitate more interconnections“, He said.
In terms of housing costs, he announced that will submit a comprehensive plan for affordable housing early next year.
