During the year, the country seemed to gain, although with numerous challenges ahead. The Company managed to respond adequately and effectively against these challenges, empowering all of its Business Units. Through hard work, sound resource management, focus on innovation, respect to the environment and above all, transparency, we proved that not only we are able to achieve our objectives but also exceed them. Undoubtedly, the laying of the foundation stone for one of the largest combined cycle gas turbines plant (CCGT) in Europe, has been a pinnacle moment for the Company. Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis set the cornerstone of the new plant at the Energy Center of Agios Nikolaos, which marks the first major investment in Greece in the post credit-crisis era. The plant will provide security to the Greek energy system and guarantees that the country will win the challenge of transition to the post-lignite era. The Metallurgy Business Unit, notwithstanding the continued low-price levels, represented 26.4% of the company’s total turnover and preserved its competitive position worldwide. Since July 2019, ‘Hephaestus’, the 4th program of simultaneous productivity improvement and cost cutting, has taken effect by the Aluminium of Greece in continuation to previous successful programs. Dedicated to our commitment for sustainable development via our investments in recycled aluminium -the so-called ‘green’ aluminium - we proceeded to the acquisition of 97.87% of EPALME SA shares, in May 2019, reinforcing aluminium production and broadening our customer base, always in tandem with the international specifications and trends. Moreover, the Business Unit joined the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) as a Production and Transformation member, an action reflecting our commitment to sustainable production. The Power & Gas Business Unit maintained its good performance and has been established as the top independent electricity producer in Greece, supporting the country’s transition to cleaner forms of energy. The Business Unit increased electricity generation by 16%, while the total generated electricity, including Renewable energy electricity production, represents 11.2% of the total domestic demand. Protergia continued strengthening its presence and by the end of 2019, its market share reached 5.5%, exceeding 190.000 customers. At the same time, in the Natural Gas market, MYTILINEOS, in the end of 2019, held a leading position with a 32% market share, overtaking DEPA, the state owned incumbent, and becoming the country’s biggest LNG importer in 2019 and the first private company attaining such an achievement. MYTILINEOS, through the EPC Business Unit, has been internationally established as a company offering construction of specialized energy wide-scale projects, providing at the same time energy saving solutions. In the meantime, in 2019 was completed the acquisition of 60% of ZEOLOGIC SA, a company that provides innovative solutions in liquid and solid waste treatment. In June 2019, MYTILINEOS announced the acquisition of 100% of METKA EGN, a significant step towards Company’s strategic focus in the Solar PV and energy storage market. METKA EGN is present in 5 continents while during 2019 continued undertaking new, large- scale international projects, consolidating its position amongst the top players in one of the fastest developing sectors worldwide. With this transaction MYTILINEOS now includes in its activity platform the construction, operation, financing and resale of photovoltaic power generation and storage units in Greece and mainly in the international markets. The successful Eurobond issue, of EUR 500 mn in the fall of 2019, was another great moment for the company. With a participation of more than 35%, foreign investors trusted the company, while the interest rate of 2.5% was one of the lowest in the European capital markets and the best ever set by a Greek company in its first issue. The result showcased the attractiveness of our integrated business model in the international investment community and our strategic investments across all our Business Units. The financial results of 2019 confirm the positive contribution of all Business Units on the company’s development. For the first time, turnover exceeded the landmark of €2.0 bn., while net profits, after tax and minority posted an increase of 2.6% and net debt dropped to €421 mn. versus €443 mn. at the end of 2018. The successful debut bond issuance of €500 mn decreased the company’s cost of debt and increased the end of year cash balance. 2 WorldReginfo - 7a675026-cd6a-4eef-8c5f-e5d14017bd38 However, MYTILINEOS’ business operation is not limited to its Business Units. The contribution to society and environment, as reflected on the company’s values and its Corporate Social Responsibility plan became an integral part of its strategy. Hence, in 2019, MYTILINEOS joined for the first time the Sustainable Development FTSE4Good indexes, achieving high performance while being awarded distinctions both at domestic and European level. In addition, the company continued to deliver on its commitment to provide support to people affected in the disaster-stricken by the big conflagration of the previous year in the Mati area through supporting the Greek State and proceeding with the improvement of energy efficiency of the school complex and the sheltered gym of the Rafina-Pikermi Municipality. Furthermore, MYTILINEOS donated fire trucks to the Fire Department Headquarters. Moreover, the company engaged in several actions concerning the environment, the children, the less affluent fellow citizens, in line with the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals. The successes during 2019 in MYTILINEOS’ broadened portfolio and the difficulties we faced constitute an important legacy for the future, as the year 2020 is one of the most challenging years that humanity is confronted with, as we are already coping with an unprecedented situation due to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Acknowledging that this is a factor affecting all human, social and business activities, impacting on both the national and the global economy, we stay alert in order to effectively respond to this challenge as well. I am convinced that MYTILINEOS and the country will emerge stronger in the aftermath of this adventure. Evangelos G.

Evvia oder Egripos, bei den Italienern Negroponte), griechische, besonders im Altertum wichtige Insel im Ägeischen Meer, dicht an der Ostküste von Mittelhellas (s. Karte »Griechenland«), hat 3681 qkm (66,85 QM.) Flächeninhalt und eine schmale, langgestreckte Gestalt. Sie mißt von dem nördlichen Vorgebirge Pondikonisi (dem alten Artemision, s. d.) bis zur Südspitze Mantelo (dem alten Gerästos) 158 km Länge; ihre größte Breite von 40 km hat sie beim Euripos oder der Meerenge von Negroponte. Im NW. wird Euböa durch den Kanal von Trikeri von der Südküste Thessaliens, im W. durch den Kanal von Negroponte und den Kanal von Talanti (im Altertum Euböisches Meer) und die Meerenge Euripos vom Festland (Attika, Böotien und Lokris) geschieden. Die Gebirge von Euböa gliedern sich in drei Gruppen und teilen die Insel in drei Teile, welchen die politische Einteilung in Eparchien entspricht. In der Mitte (Eparchie Chalkis) erhebt sich, nahe der Ostküste, bis zu 1745 m das meist aus Thonschiefer bestehende Dirphysgebirge (jetzt Delphis), dessen Abhänge noch heute reich mit Kiefern, Tannen, Kastanien und Platanen bewachsen sind. Von ihm gegen NO. in der Eparchie Karystia zieht sich das Mavrovunigebirge (1122 m), welches beim Städtchen Kumi (ehemals Kyme) bedeutende Braunkohlenlager hat. Im S. liegt der Ocha (Hagios Ilias, 1404 m), aus Glimmerschiefer bestehend, doch in seinen höhern Teilen weißen, grün gestreiften Marmor (Cipollino) bergend, welcher für die Bauten des kaiserlichen Rom gesucht war.

Αναμφίβολα, οι εγγενείς περιορισμοί που διέπουν το αρχαιολογικό αρχείο, καθιστούν συχνά δύσκολη την μελέτη αυτών των αντικειμένων.

  • Church of Greece Under Axis Occupation
    Church of Greece under Axis Occupation A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Panteleymon E Anastasakis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Theofanis G. Stavrou August 2009 © Panteleymon E Anastasakis, August 2009 Acknowledgements Completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the constant support of teachers, family, and friends, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank them all. Among the several teachers who have contributed substantially to my “paedeia,” I would like first to thank members of my dissertation committee. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou played a central role in this learning process from the moment I expressed interest in working with him at the University of Minnesota until I defended my dissertation. Among other things, it was he who suggested the dissertation topic of the role of the Church of Greece during the Axis occupation of the country. Throughout my years at Minnesota, he provided valuable advice and encouragement, and continued to have faith in me even when I wavered. Professor John Kim Munholland maintained a deep interest in my work at all times. He encouraged me to view the Greek experience in the broader European context of the Second World War, occupation, and resistance. From our first seminar until my dissertation defense, his insightful comments played a crucial role in shaping me as a scholar. Similarly, Professor Sarah Chambers, a Latin America expert, contributed her own useful comparative insights to the project. I especially appreciated her suggestion to explore in greater detail society’s expectations from institutions like the church as opposed to expectations from state institutions.

  • Annual Report 2019
    Message from the Chairman 2019 was a landmark year for MYTILINEOS, as it was full of significant milestones. During the year, the country seemed to gain, although with numerous challenges ahead. The Company managed to respond adequately and effectively against these challenges, empowering all of its Business Units. Through hard work, sound resource management, focus on innovation, respect to the environment and above all, transparency, we proved that not only we are able to achieve our objectives but also exceed them. Undoubtedly, the laying of the foundation stone for one of the largest combined cycle gas turbines plant (CCGT) in Europe, has been a pinnacle moment for the Company. Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis set the cornerstone of the new plant at the Energy Center of Agios Nikolaos, which marks the first major investment in Greece in the post credit-crisis era. The plant will provide security to the Greek energy system and guarantees that the country will win the challenge of transition to the post-lignite era. The Metallurgy Business Unit, notwithstanding the continued low-price levels, represented 26.4% of the company’s total turnover and preserved its competitive position worldwide. Since July 2019, ‘Hephaestus’, the 4th program of simultaneous productivity improvement and cost cutting, has taken effect by the Aluminium of Greece in continuation to previous successful programs. Dedicated to our commitment for sustainable development via our investments in recycled aluminium -the so-called ‘green’ aluminium - we proceeded to the acquisition of 97.87% of EPALME SA shares, in May 2019, reinforcing aluminium production and broadening our customer base, always in tandem with the international specifications and trends.

In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, begnning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6” x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
