Greek main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis met visiting European Commission Vice-President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness Jyrki Katainen on Monday, discussing the new financing instruments for businesses available under the Investment Plan introduced by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
Mitsotakis and Katainen agreed on the need to speed up promotion of investments through the Juncker plan, using the financing tools from the Commission and the European Investment Bank.
Sources said that Mitsotakis promised ND initiatives and support for actions promoting a faster and more effective use in Greece of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) and EIB funding. He also informed the Commissioner of ND plans for a working meeting with organisations and businesses, aimed at securing the technical assistance of EIB experts in drawing up investment plans.
The meeting was attended by the head of the European Commission Representation in Greece Panos Carvounis and ND Vice-President Adonis Georgiadis and other party echelons.
