Gvt attempts to reform measures for farmers amidst mobilizations
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The Greek government is trying to improve and change aspects of an agreement with the country's creditors with the aim to lower tax and social contributions burdens on farmers, Agricultural Development Minister Vaggelis Apostolou said on Monday.
In comments made to a television station, Apostolou said that the country will need to drink "the bitter glass of implementing the agreement" and particularly mentioned the need to safeguard around 3.5 billion euros annually from EU agricultural funds.
The Greek minister called farmers, who are preparing strike mobilizations, to begin talks with the government.
