It was signed by the Ministry of Rural Development and Food for the approval of local development programs CLLD / LEADER under the Rural Development Program 2014-2020 and the Operational Program for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs 2014-2020 as well as allocation of public expenditure  for the these programs by Local Action Group (LAG).

70.5 million € has been distributed for Electronic consultation of the draft Operational Program for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs  which is more than  55  million € indicatively mentioned in the invitation, as a response to a strong demand.

This result gives us strength and satisfaction in this very difficult time to keep the product of a collective effort that has bases in the  good performance of the previous period, the extension of the area,  very good business plan, strength and dynamism  of the  company and great effort of everyone .

All the above ensure a solid partnership, trust of management and shareholders to executives and transparency and fairness in the management of financial resources and people.

The successful opening of the company in Saronic Islands and Kythira, where for the first time  we  have obtained the approval for the same program with total public expenditure 7.400.000 €, the inter-regional cooperation coordinated at national level but also the  projects of national scope,  are bringing us to central  decisions and are  further strengthening  our role and our responsibilities.

We are continuing our efforts on the benefit of our region with even more ambition.
