[01] Agriculture Minister Basiakos meets peach producers
Agricultural Development and Foods Minister Evangelos Basiakos held a
meeting at the ministry on Wednesday with the peach producers of Pella
Prefecture, northern Greece, and with the processors.
Following the meeting, Basiakos said:"The government today yet again
undertook a mediatory initiative betweeen the peach producers and the
processors, despite the fact that it does not have the right to do more
than it has already done. As is known, the government has already
exhausted every measure, compatible with the European Union regulations
for the support of the income of peach producers. Already, measures
have been taken and announced both by me and by Deputy Minister
Alexandros Kontos."
The minister said that the peach producers will be compensated for
damage caused to their produce due to the bad weather conditions.
Basiakos added:"It is apparent that the government and the Agricultural
Development and Foods Ministry cannot decide nor advance any decision
which is determined by the European Union partners and exclusively
concerns their revenue."
