The delay in implementing the Community’s ‘small and medium-sized enterprise’ programme (SMEs) inGreece was produced by the need to coordinate the 125 measures in favour of SMEs incorporated inGreece’s various national and regional operational programmes and other Community Initiatives.According to the information sent to the Commission by the Greek authorities, rapid progress has beenmade since the launch of the above programme. The Greek authorities have been able to commit the totalallocation, with 56% of payments made so far.

Progress in implementing the Community’s URBAN initiative in GreeceWill the Commission say what progress has been made in implementing the Community’s URBANinitiative in Greece in terms of payment of scheduled appropriations? Does it consider that progress hasbeen satisfactory and, if not, to what does it believe any delays are attributable?
Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission
(25 November 1999)
The delay in implementing the URBAN Community Initiative programme in Greece was produced by theneed to set up a decentralised management structure, which entailed lengthy discussions and requiredmanagement contracts to be signed between the Greek Ministry of Economic Affairs and the agencies incharge of implementing the programme in the six cities involved.Once this structure had been put into place rapid progress was made. The contracts have now been signedand all the projects are currently being implemented, while some have even been completed. Given thesmall scale of the projects, they should be completed by the end of the first half of 2000.18.7.2000 EN C203E/87Official Journal of the European Communities
