Vassilis Tsiatouras as the new chief of the Greek Police. "Greece has for the first time acquired a comprehensive spatial plan," Souflias said in statements after the meeting, adding that the plan he presented was one of the most important reforms to take place in Greece in the last decades and would allow Greece to achieve well-rounded development with absolute respect for the environment. "This means, quite simply, that everyone will know what they can do and where and all activities will have rules that are known in advance," he stressed.
