Greece's growth is based on three main axons: competitiveness, quality and
productivity said Greece's Energy Minister George Sioufas at his speech in the
Economist Conference taking place in Athens, Greece.
According to Mr Sioufas Greece has also the potential to become an energy outlet
for the whole of Europe, because of its geographical position.
The Greek minister referred to the Greek-Turkish natural gas pipe, the
agreement of the Greco-Italian underwater natural gas pipeline and the
Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline as characteristic examples of the country's
important position as an energy path, from Middle East and Asia towards Europe.
Other than that, Mr Sioufas emphasized the effort of the Greek government to
help Small and Medium Enterprises through Special Programs, while pointing out
that already 80,000 enterprises have benefited from the state aid.
