“Although we see some encouraging signs of de-escalation cases, we must be extremely careful to avoid the outbreak of the epidemic and to give our hospitals and front-line combatants a break. To arrive carefully and safely at the organized vaccination of the entire population, which will begin – well done – from the beginning of January “.stressed the Prime Minister in his introductory position at the meeting of the Council of Ministers.
“In regards to Covid, during the day there will be announcements by the Government Spokesperson about what definitely won’t work until early January “said the Prime Minister.
THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis He also referred to the reforms that will be discussed at the meeting and refer to the new framework for the Proposals of Model Projects to be presented by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, to the final development plan for the regions of Western Macedonia and Megalopolis, which will be presented by the Minister of the Environment. and Energy and the National Cybersecurity Strategy, an integrated framework that protects digital applications and services.
The entire introductory position of the Prime Minister.
We concluded today, a week after our previous meeting, the November Council of Ministers issue cycle. Another Council of Ministers will follow shortly before Christmas, where we will take stock of the issues that occupied us throughout the year, to see to what extent we were consistent with the goals that we had set for ourselves at the beginning of the year.
First of all, as for Covid, during the day there will be announcements from the Government Spokesperson about what will not work after the beginning of January. I will have the opportunity this afternoon to give an interview to explain our reasoning in more detail.
I think we have said many times that despite seeing some encouraging signs of de-escalation, we must be extremely careful to avoid a resurgence of the epidemic and to give our hospitals and front-line fighters a break. To arrive at the organized vaccination of the entire population with care and safety, which will start – well done – from the beginning of January.
On the subject of the current Council of Ministers, let me briefly dwell on three important initiatives.
First, in the new framework of Model Project Proposals to be presented by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation. It was our central pre-election commitment. In short, private entities will be able to propose large infrastructure projects themselves, but they will have studied and matured with their own funding. This means flexibility towards bureaucracy and activation of private innovation for the benefit of the State. And of course another way to use the significant resources of the European Recovery Fund.
I believe that the final plan for the transition of development of the Western Macedonia and Megalopolis regions, which will be presented by the Minister of Environment and Energy, is equally important. It has already incorporated the experience of public consultation, it is a gigantic effort with a total economic value that exceeds 5,000 million euros. An effort that will completely change the productive model of these two regions with investments in smart agriculture, modern processing, sustainable tourism, education, technology. Sixteen of the proposals that have already been presented to us have already been included in the draft that will be presented to the Council of Ministers today.
I would also like to point out a third very important initiative: after the digital book, which was published in a public consultation and which I believe has received a very positive response, the Ministry of Digital Governance will present today the National Cybersecurity Strategy. An integrated framework that shields applications and digital services, has 15 specific objectives, more than 50 actions. It is a necessary institutional step that is not limited to fighting cybercrime, which, as you know, is growing rapidly, but offers Greece the added value of a secure digital environment.
We have other very interesting topics on the agenda for our discussion. Issues related to the Ministry of Tourism, hot springs, plan to reduce smuggling.
