    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 17.6.2021 COM(2021) 328 final ANNEX ANNEX to the Proposal for a Council Implementing Decision on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Greece {SWD(2021) 155 final} EN EN ANNEX SECTION 1: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN 1. Description of Reforms and Investments A. COMPONENT 1.1: POWER UP This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan targets reforms and investments to increase the weight of renewable energy sources in the electricity system and facilitate Greece’s process of decarbonisation. Reforms shall simplify licensing rules for renewable energy investment, make the electricity market more efficient, and secure the financial sustainability of support schemes. The component also includes key investments in networks to complete the interconnection with the Cyclades islands and make electricity distribution more environment-friendly and able to absorb a greater share of renewable energy. Storage systems shall also support the decarbonisation of the economy through accumulating surplus renewable electricity. Land rehabilitation shall also be supported in areas currently used as lignite mines, as a step of the just transition process in the territories most affected by the phase-out of lignite. The component is in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 of 2020 and Country Specific Recommendation 2 of 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

    VOL. 36 NO. 384 CHICAGO, IL. SEPTEMBER 2017 Can A Christian Be Greek oil spill spreads Afflicted?Part 7 By: Louis A. Palivos to Athens riviera Satanic forces were defeated on Golgotha when the Lord Jesus Christ said, “it is finished.” John 19:30, (ôåôÝëåóôáé) tetelestai, which the Author believes was spoken in Greek. Satan was defeated forever! But do Believers appropriate the victory of the cross in their daily walk of life? Do Believers exercise the authority they have in the name of Jesus Christ? Can Unbelievers be demon- ized? These Articles suggest that for Unbelievers the answer is yes. But can Believers be demonized? There is a powerful and informative encounter that the Lord Jesus Christ had with a woman in a Synagogue. “And He was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to Him, and said unto her, ‘Woman, you art loosed from your infir- mity.’ And He laid his hands on her and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation; be- cause, Jesus had healed on the Sabbath Day, and said unto the people, “there are six days in which men ought to work and in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath Day.” The Lord then answered him, and said, ‘You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a Daughter of Abraham, Crews scrambled on Wednesday to clean up an oil spill whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the from a sunken tanker which had spread to some of Athens's Sabbath Day?’” Lk.

  • History of Vehicles in Greece 1895 - 1970
    Lady driver and her dogs somewhere in Greece, at the ‘30s History of Vehicles in Greece 1895 - 1970 Angelo Trakadas Member of Culture Commission This article aims to inform the readers about the history of vehicles in Greece and the current Classic Vehicles movement in Greece. Greece was not a country that produced vehicles (with some limited exceptions), so the vehicles were imported from other countries, especially from Europe. It is an interesting story, with romance, pioneers, many modifications and the meaning of vehicles to the Greece of previous decades. Today’s classic vehicles movement will be presented too. I’ve focused on the most significant moments and stories, trying to create a not so long article, so no one gets bored reading it. Of course if you want more information, I will provide it to you. All the photos are part of my collection. The early days The very first vehicle that came to Greece was a three-wheeler motorcycle (possibly French made) back in 1895, imported by a gentleman of the era called Nikolas Kontogiannakis. The same gentleman, brought 2 years later the first car in Greece, a one cylinder 2hp Peugeot. Those vehicles used for a small period as there were no mechanics or the knowhow to maintain and repair them. At 1901 arrived the first taxi and the next years more vehicles came and in 1907 we can find 7 cars in Athens. At 1907 also happened the first car accident. Owners of the vehicles were aristocrats, bank owners and members of the royal family, especially king Alexander was a great driver and motorcyclist of the days.
