[01] FinMin on 3rd CSF
Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis and Deputy Yiannis
Papathanasiou held talks on Thursday with the country's Regional
Secretary Generals concerning the closure of the 3rd Community Support
Framework (CSF) and the beginning of the 2007-2013 economic programme
period, urging them to intensify their efforts to achieve a timely and
appropriate utilisation of funds.
Alogoskoufis said that 2008 is the most crucial year both for the 3rd
CSF, because it has to close, and the programme period that is
starting. He added that he was aware of difficulties facing regional
governors, but stressed that "we have no ground for slackness this
year. It is very important for the entire country that we go beyond
ourselves. The effort must be very intensive."
The meeting with regional governors will be repeated every month "to
enable us to see how we are going and to prevent problems before they
appear," the minister added.
