STATE AID AS A TOOL OF STRATEGY IN ENERGY AND INNOVATION

STATE AID AS A TOOL OF STRATEGY IN ENERGY AND INNOVATION - Filenews 24/5 by Stella Michailidou



Cyprus is currently facing a historic challenge. The energy crisis, the green transition, the need for technological modernization and the pressure to strengthen the competitiveness of businesses are creating a new reality, in which the state can no longer operate with low-risk management logics and fragmented interventions. The era requires strategy, speed and political boldness.

And yet, in Cyprus there is still a very conservative approach to the use of state aid. The vast majority of support schemes are based on de minimis aid because it is considered administratively easier, more "safer" and less demanding in terms of compliance.

The statement last Tuesday by the President of the Republic that the decrease in visitor arrivals in Cyprus amounts to only 6.5% caused a sensation in tourist circles.

In fact, the fact that President Christodoulidis had not clarified to which period he was referring, nor from which source these data came, increased the confusion that was created.

KYRIAKOS PIERRAKAKIS - THE EU SHOULD GO ON THE OFFENSIVE - GSI IS A WIN-WIN PROJECT, MINISSTER OF FINANCE OF GREECE TELLS ''F'' - Filenews 24/5 by Theano Thiopoulou



Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Minister of National Economy and Finance of Greece and President of the Eurogroup, sends messages about the role of Europe and the change of strategy it must promote, through his interview with Fileleftheros, on the occasion of his presence here as president of the meeting of the Ministers of Finance of the Eurozone that took place on May 21-23 in Nicosia.

He states in particular that "Europe must stop dealing with every crisis piecemeal and acquire long-term strategic thinking. It is currently faced with a historic choice: either it will act quickly and in a coordinated manner, or it will lose ground, in an international environment that is changing faster than ever."
