Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday said he hoped Greece would become an exporter of green energy “in the medium-term” at a round table discussion on the topic ‘European Green Deal, Anyone?’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos. 

He also insisted that the EU must strike a balance as regards its economy’s competitiveness and the relevant rules, noting that there are countries that have the fiscal strength to support their enterprises and others that do not.

“If you want the people’s support for green energy you must find mutually beneficial solutions, as we did on the small islands of our country, where we explained the advantages of electricity to the inhabitants,” he said.
