Letter from Helen Daskalaki, Direction
for European Relations, Hellenic Parliament
Further to your inquiry on the Commission's
2007 work programme, we would like to hereby let you know of the
following.
The Committee for European Affairs of the Hellenic
Parliament debated on the aforementioned Programme on 23 November,
as well as on 29 November 2006, at the presence of the Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Valinakis.
The debate did not result to specific comments
or proposals, but rather to the identification and selection of
future Commission's initiatives that are considered most important
(such as those concerning immigration, energy, health services,
fight against terrorism, enlargement, maritime policy, environmental
issues and financial services, as well as certain actions concerning
Common Agriculture Policy and Fisheries) and which should further
be examined in the frame of joint meetings of the Committee for
European Affairs and the competent Standing Committees.
One of the rapporteurs, as well as many of the
present Committee members, expressed comments of a more general
nature. Specifically, they suggested that the programme, should
be annexed by an account ( or a report on the state of play) of
the previous Commission's initiatives, in order to achieve its
better elaboration and effective assessment.
