The government committee for the development of the supply chain met today, chaired by the Minister of Development Takis Theodorikakou and with the participation of Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Vassilis Economou, Secretary General of Industry Lefteris Cretan, Secretary General of Commerce Sotiris Anagnostopoulos, Secretary General of Spatial Planning and Urban Environment Efthimios Bakoyannis Athanasios chain Ziliakopoulos and the Head of Supply Service of the Ministry of Development Alexandra Nassos.

The subject of the meeting was to take legislative initiative to update the 2014 legal framework and the sector of the logistics adapt to the modern demands of international markets. Given Greece’s geographical location, investment in the supply chain can turn our country into an international transit center between the East and the West, the North and the South.

The focus was on the six new state-of-the-art Logistics centers under development- 5 in Attica (Thriassio 1, Thriassio 2, Race, Elefsina, IKEA)- and 1 in the Thessaloniki area, in the former camp of Gonou. In addition to the main work, special emphasis is placed on accompanying infrastructure and traffic studies, so as to dismantle movement and facilitate movement.

The digitization of the supply chain and the development of online applications that will enable all documents to transfer goods to “go up” to European platforms and to have connectivity and quick processing of all relevant procedures were extensively discussed.

The issue of renewing the fleet of trucks, in the context of the green transition for a sustainable and durable development, as well as the strengthening of port and road infrastructure for the interconnection of our country with the main European arteries, is also relevant.
