There is no need for hasty moves, said Mr. Economou, starting his reports on Ark of the World. The law applies to everyone, as long as there are criminal acts, the guilty will be brought to justice. It was decided to immediately replace the management of the Ark, in the meeting held earlier. At the same time, great importance is given to the deinstitutionalization of children and the strengthening of the institution of foster care. There are three measures: faster examination of applications, strengthening of foster families and widening of the age criteria for someone to become a foster parent.

In most structures the administrations were almost uncontrollable, characteristically said Mr. Economou. Asked if the government intends to have a “supervisor” in structures like the Ark, Mr. Economou said that the absolute priority is to continue operating for the benefit of children, at a time when it was operating 95% with private donations, and it is possible that confidence will be shaken, but this will not generally happen.
