PM Mitsotakis attending Special European Council in Brussels
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is to participate in the Special European Council taking place in Brussels on Thursday, where he will again support Greece's known position in favour of a comprehensive approach to the mid-term revision of the EU Multiannual Financial Framework, with a package deal that not only includes aid to Ukraine but also increased funds for migration and responding to natural disasters.
It should be noted that the last 'negobox' (negotiation box) at the European Council last December, on which 26 of the 27 EU Member-State leaders had agreed, was in line with Greece's concerns and priorities as, apart from the funds for Ukraine, it included the priorities set out by the Greek prime minister. Specifically, it envisaged increased funds for migration and for tackling natural disasters, as well as flexibility in the use of Community funds for the 2014-2020 period.
