\u00abThe district of Crete proceeds to new high standard actions for the promotion of the Cretan products in the markets abroad\u00bb underlined in an interview to \u00abIn-On\u00bb magazine the Regional counsellor of Crete Mr. Serafim Tsokas.
\nMore particularly:
\nQuestion:<\/strong> Will the periphery help in the organization of new exhibitions for the promotion of Cretan products?
\nAnswer.<\/strong> Recently there has been a dynamic and unified presence of Crete establishing a new era for the products of the island through participation in International Fairs such as \u0391\u039dUGA, or SIAL. This organized, collective and dynamic presence aims at exporting Cretan products to big markets abroad. A vast number of Cretan enterprises project their products successfully. Such enterprises are specialized in the production and standardization of olive oil and olives, bread and bread products, wine, biological products, herbs, sweets, raisins, honey, honey bars and other Cretan products.
\nWithin the framework of the participation of Crete in International Fairs, a great deal of simultaneous activities and actions are included such as the promotion in vital posts in the entrances of the fairs as well as in the place where there are the Cretan stalls. Indicating Cretan participation through insertions in magazines distributed in the fair, folders including the profiles of the participant enterprises, DVD distribution regarding Crete and Cretan diet and Reception Desks to welcome foreign visitors, are some of the actions realized during these fairs.
\nAt the same time through a series of other actions the periphery of Crete supports the promotion of our products to foreign markets.
\nBesides, the organization of successful exhibition events abroad, offers the participants the opportunity to develop a wide framework of co operations with companies abroad.
\nThe collective actions of promotion between the periphery of Crete, the Association of exportation of Crete, the Organization of the Promotion of Exports, the Champers of Commerce and the prefecture authorities of Crete, OANAK and \u039f\u0391D\u03a5\u039a, continue and are reinforced aiming at the creation of a unified means to certificate Cretan products under the name of \u00abRegion of Crete\u00bb, an initiative that was warmly received from the periphery of Crete.
\nThese days a fair is held in Athens which is dedicated to Crete, its products and services.\u00a0 The fair is addressed to the mainland giving special attention to local tourism as well as inner consumption. I believe that this is a very good move, even though it was organized at a very short time and it will eventually bring tangible results.
\nQuestion.<\/strong> Which are the suggestions on behalf of the periphery of Crete so as Cretan enterprises overcome the economical crisis at the lowest cost in 2009 per branch?
\nAnswer.<\/strong> Cretan enterprises constitute the backbone of Cretan economy. Through a series of political actions, the periphery along with the PEP of Crete and the Developmental Law aims at increasing investments either on new or already existing companies, through giving important motives.
\nThe actions to reinforce the Axis of Priority mainly focus on the special characteristics and the needs of the productive network of the periphery of Crete with the target to improve competitiveness and the quality of the products, services and procedures, the improvement of business structure and the elevation of the comparative advantages of regional economy. Thus, within the framework of the Axis of Priority in focus, there will be reinforcement in the companies of the secondary and tertiary section.
\nRegarding secondary section, actions will be funded to reinforce subordinate \u039c\u039c\u0395- P\u039c\u0395 in order to improve their competitiveness in the context of the demands of new economy, as well as the creation of new companies with the aim to expand the productive basis of the periphery and the creation of new posts of employment.
\nQuestion.<\/strong> According to records, the economical crisis will continue till the first semester of 2010. What measures will the periphery take to reinforce enterprises?
\nAnswer.<\/strong> The aim of our politics was and still remains a balanced, viable and cohesive development. Considering the Fourth Period of Government Policy we prepared Local Authority Organizations so as to enable them to play a significant role to the local authorities, setting them off as top-ranking carriers of regional development.
\nAdditionally, taking into account that more than 82% of the sources of the 4th \u039a.P.S., namely more than 16,8 billion of Euros, is addressed to the periphery, one realizes how well prepared should one be in order to respond to future challenges.
\nIt has to be noted, therefore, that for the first time a special Operational Scheme has been worked out for the 4th Period of Government Policy from 2007 until 2013 and there has been a systematic and prompt preparation in order to avoid malfunctions and insufficient applications of the 3rd \u039a.P.S.
\nESPA\u00a0 constitutes the spear-head of the Creek economy in the next decade since due to it, it is expected new companies to emerge that will blossom in the near future and will boost national economy.
\nUndoubtedly, the sum of money allocated to selective business propositions will signify the direction of the Development in Crete regarding businesses.
\nQuestion.<\/strong> Are there propositions from Greek or foreign businesspeople regarding their enterprising development in Crete?
\nAnswer.<\/strong> Crete is considered one of the most important markets in Southeast Europe and there is a huge investment interest not only from the part of Greek businesspeople but also from foreigners as well.\u00a0 This interest focuses particularly on tourism.
\nQuestion.<\/strong> When will the road network of the island be improved?
