“The Ministry of Development is responsible for the regulatory framework, the legislation and not the control of the application of the provisions of public procurement“, The Minister of Development pointed out, Takis Theodorikakosanswering a timely question by the President of Freedom Freedom, Zoe Konstantopoulou, on the report of the Court of Auditors on public procurement.
Takis Theodorikakos emphasized that transparency everywhere, for everyone and everything, is a fundamental principle for both himself and the government as a whole and in matters of morality and legality there can be no discounts. He recalled the recent legislative initiative of the Ministry of Development, which created a special body of civil servants, trained appropriately for the conclusion and monitoring of public contracts and instituted wherever you have been for all public officials involved, in addition to those who were in charge.

Concerning the Court of Auditors’ report, the Minister of Development replied that “the pre -contractual audit is mandatory prior to the signing of a contract, from 300,000 euros by the Court of Auditors Commissioner, from 1,700,000 euros from a step in terms of money from national resources and more than 5m euros in money. A contract is signed. Therefore, nothing has happened anywhere. ” He even called on Mrs Konstantopoulou if any illegality had existed to report her publicly and testify to the prosecutor.
In his discipline, Mr. Theodorikakos stressed that “my firm position is that throwing mud in the fan is not good for democracy. Your phrase ‘how much more will they eat’ is extreme and slanderous positioning and offers nothing in the role of democracy and responsibility that each of us must have for credibility in parliament. ”
Finally, as far as OPEKEPE is concerned, he replied that the government’s position in practice is one and clear: “Bring back the stolen.” And he continued that the government would also be judged for its effectiveness, stating that “it is a matter of credibility of our policy that money is starting to refund and to start the judicial proceedings against those who stole the Greek and the European taxpayer and have wronged our farmers.”
