“We are trying in two different ways to keep farmers to receive subsidies: One is the rigid decision of removing his OPECEPE And his absorption in AADE, which has a given credibility, and the second way is to search for the unnecessary paid. ” pointed out by the Vice President of the Government, Kostis Hatzidakisspeaking on his TV SKAI. “And in one way and in the other we show both the interior and in Brussels that we do not change the page, but a capital “, Complete.

“I myself met last week with the EU Commissioner for Georgia, Mr. Hansen, where I made it clear that we would move forward quickly, as the prime minister said. There will be OPECEPE absorption by AADE. Already in a bill by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance next week in Parliament there is the first provision and other arrangements will follow. All this will be done in a very organized way to stop the shadows and pay in the meantime the subsidies of the farmers. “

“The second thing we do is what was announced on Monday, that the Financial Police in cooperation with the AADE and the Ministry of Rural Development will control the amounts paid and the unnecessary paid will be sought. As for the criminal side, responsibilities will be sought wherever they exist, ” as he said.

‘No other names arise from the case file’

“I could say that all this has been done since Greece entered the EEC, I won’t say it. I could say they are done in other European countries, I won’t say it, ” Mr Hatzidakis said shortly afterwards, agreeing with the prime minister that on the OPECEPE issue the government had to move more determination.

“In all its countries they are trying to support farmers and let’s talk honestly, there are sometimes thoughts that “my little kid’s money comes from Brussels, they have to live the villages etc”. Thoughts that do not say irrational prevailed in their extreme form, as were the ones that arise from the dialogues. That is why all this prime minister’s reaction was, ” noted and added by saying:

“Those who, in one way or another, appear to have been urged to abuse, were asked to resign. The examination of the case file does not arise any such issues with names, so we will have no other resignations. Currently the issue of elections is not raised. But two issues are raised: the pending issues from now on at the House level and the government agenda. We are instructed by 2027 to move on. “

At the same time, he informed that the ND is currently studying the case file and will wait to see what PASOK will do, which he has announced. “We will move away from witch hunting and apparently away from any logic of concealment. We know that at this time there is a magnifying glass above us so we must dwell on the circumstances. “
