This was emphasized by the Minister of Development in Parliament
Next to all the successes of New Democracy’s rule, we have no right to rest, because there are social groups that have difficulty and because there are still issues that we have to monitor and intervene with specific policies to address them, the Minister said, the Minister said. Takis Theodorikakos, In the debate that is evolving in Parliament, on the new development law. “There is no greater security for the homeland than a powerful truly competitive economy. The best fence on the border and the best way to tackle the demographic problem is the strong productive economy, “the Minister of Development said.
The country’s trade deficit remains, as a percentage of GDP, at the levels it was when Greece entered the eurozone and therefore, Mr Theodorikakos said, are a challenge for the Greek economy, changing the productive model, extroversion, extroversion. “This requires the support of large businesses, because you cannot compete with today’s world, without having large businesses that can respond, but it is undoubtedly needed to support small and medium -sized entrepreneurship, which employ millions of Greeks,” the minister said and explained that the minister said.
According to the EIA RES, in response to those who comment that there is little the money to be donated under the development law because their financial resources are managed by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, the Minister of Development said that development law is a tool, but not the main tool, but not the main tool, euro and constitute the largest development program that Greece has ever seen after World War II. But beyond the mobilization of financial resources, as he pointed out, Greece with a designed production policy policy is converted into an energy hub for the whole of Europe for the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. At the same time, important projects, roads, railways are being implemented, which give even greater potential to develop the logistic center industry, while the country is rapidly moving in the field of artificial intelligence and will become the first factories, with the stamp of Europe, and funding the upgrading of research centers.
Referring to the need for productive transformation, Mr Theodorikakos said that there is a comprehensive strategy by the government in order for growth and strong duration to have a duration, and to create new jobs, and to support research and innovation in all areas.
The development law, the minister said, directs significant financial resources in areas where there is really a need, in 2025 and 2026 will be approved by aid of € 1 billion, with the process of manufacturing, large investments, the special regime of the border regions and the laws of 70%. Support, Mr Theodorikakos noted, concerns all businesses, will be a separate regime for new technologies, extroversion and social entrepreneurship, and therefore “the opposition should abandon the false argument that the development law will only support the big companies,”
But what new does the new development law bring? According to the description of the Minister of Development, the bill “brings”:
-More fair geographical targeting, especially for the border areas and the weakest counties, prefectures affected by natural disasters, areas with a large demographic retardation.
-Thisive processes and greater transparency. The commitment of the law is to evaluate applications to be completed in 90 days.
-Creates new social targeting regimes such as social entrepreneurship
-The new development orientation is being highlighted by new technologies
-Procedures are simplified, a new framework is introduced, with a provision for investment, unless a specific percentage is implemented in the first two years and with a “penalty” of reimbursement with an additional 10%, if the affiliation decision is revoked.
-In collaboration with the Hellenic Development Bank there will be more access to small and medium -sized businesses, in liquidity. In cooperation with the European Investment Bank there will be access to the larger investment. At the same time, the highest overall overall increase per investment plan is doubled, as larger investments can bring more results in both jobs in the Greek economy.
The Minister of Development, during his intervention, also sent a message to those who, while taking advances, under earlier development laws, did not proceed with the implementation of the projects for which they had requested aid. They will be called one by one and will be called upon to return the money they received, Mr Theodorikakos said and informed the National Delegation that 1400 investment plans were being controlled.
Referring to the correlation of the support of investment plans with jobs, Mr Theodorikakos said BSE called for the creation of jobs to be removed as a criterion for evaluation. “With the Association of Industrialists, our relationship is a relationship of cooperation, reliable communication and mutual respect. But this does not mean that any proposal that comes from there is right, “the minister said, stressing that” in the special regime of the border regions and areas with a serious demographic problem, and they have an income below 70% of the average, there is not possible, jobs cannot be a criterion for the criterion. This does not mean that this will apply everywhere, because when one invests in new technologies, it is likely to invest in modern machinery and programs that are not required to require new jobs. “
