The European Commission is ready to stand by Greece as it struggles with the aftermath of the recent devastating fires and floods, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday, during her meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Strasbourg. She spoke of five funding streams that could be mobilized to assist Greece, such as funding from the Common Agricultural Policy, unspent money from previous periods, the EU Solidarity Fund, and others, ANA reports.
“If we look at those funds, they could, for example, help restore forests or farming infrastructure. A lot needs to be done. Altogether, this could allow Greece to mobilize up to 2.25 billion euros,” Von der Leyen noted.
