Press Release: Commissioner Johannes Hahn in Greece to push regional funds as a tool for recovery

The EU's Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn, is in Greece to outline the most effective way to use EU Regional Funds for growth in the EU's next long term budget.

Commissioner Hahn will meet the 13 Governors of Greece's regions in Athens to set out where the European Commission believes Greece can best concentrate its efforts in the next budget period 2014-2020 and to highlight where attention is needed to make the most of current funds. This will form a starting point for discussions on how programmes are designed and ultimately where investment is focused.
