The Greek government will make preparations to cope with a disorderly Brexit and any negative repercussions this may have, Alternate Foreign Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis noted on Wednesday, in a statement to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA).
Varvitsiotis, who is responsible for European issues, made the statement before a special meeting on Brexit convened at the foreign ministry, with the relevant staff of the other ministries involved.
“Boris Johnson’s election as prime minister of the United Kingdom creates the conditions for disorderly Brexit,” Varvitsiotis pointed out, adding that the prospect of the UK crashing out of the European Union without a deal “means that we must work to prepare for all aspects of this exit.”
Such preparations must cover Greece’s relations with the UK on an economic and educational level, along with the relations of Greek citizens residing in the UK with authorities in that country, or those of UK nationals living in Greece with authorities here, tax issues and even ensuring that Greek pharmacies had sufficient stocks of medicines imported from the UK, he added.
