Gov’t determined to speed up privatisations, minister stresses


Minister Hadjidakis

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Monday chaired a broad government meeting focusing on the country's privatisations programme and the coordination of efforts between Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (TAIPED) and the competent ministries.

Development Minister Kostis Hatzidakis stressed that the prime minister is closely monitoring the progress of government work for privatizations.

“We want better coordination; we are interested in results and the production of measurable work,” Hatzidakis noted.

The prime minister's orders include pushing ahead with the relevant procedures. An emphasis will most likely be placed on the state-run lottery and betting pools agency, OPAP, the Hellenic Public Gas Corp. S.A. (DEPA) and the Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator (DESFA) considering that these cases are the most “mature”.

Hatzidakis will be in Brussels on Tuesday for meetings that will focus on unblocking the construction of national motorway projects.
