«Μετά
τη συνάντηση που είχαν σήμερα το πρωί ο Υπουργός Ανάπτυξης κ. Κώστας Σκρέκας με
τον Γενικό Γραμματέα του ΟΟΣΑ, ο κ. Άνχελ Γκουρία δήλωσε ότι το μεταρρυθμιστικό
πρόγραμμα της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης παράγει ήδη θετικά αποτελέσματα.
Meeting Greece’s Minister of Development and
Competitiveness Mr. Kostas Skrekas today, OECD Secretary General Angel Gurría
said the Greek government’s reform programme was already showing positive
results.
Mr Skrekas emphasized the quality of the OECD’s advice
and the effective cooperation between the Organisation’s experts and Greece’s
public administration to support reform. Minister Skrekas said the Greek
Government was committed to continue reforms that will assist entrepreneurship
and cut red tape. He added that Greece’s commitment to reform is
shown, for example, by the elimination, earlier this week, of investment
licenses for 104 business sectors.
Mr
Gurría said: “Greece should be commended for its tremendous reform effort over
the last few years. Reforms to strengthen competition, reduce administrative
burdens and improve the transparency of public procurement are already having
positive results on Greece’s economic performance, its international
competitiveness and on restoring growth”...
An OECD evaluation of competition regulation in a
number of manufacturing sectors, to be completed in December, will contain
preliminary recommendations regarding laws and rules to be changed or abolished
on the basis of an assessment relying on the OECD’s Competition Assessment Toolkit.
Minister Skrekas also delivered a letter to Mr Gurría
informing him that Greece has decided to reintegrate as a member of the OECD Development Centre and expressed his country’s
willingness to participate actively in this policy forum going forward.
