Giving a speech at the European Maritime Day in Piraeus, EU Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner Carmenu Vella focused on the opportunity for Greece to apply for EU funds and support blue growth. As he said: ‘I have good news for you. The money is there to boost the EU’s maritime economy. More than 300 billion euros worth of investment will become available when President Juncker’s European Fund for Strategic Investments becomes operational. Blue business will be very well placed to apply and I encourage you to apply.Just last week, the EIB approved financing for the construction of new offshore windfarms, as part of President Juncker’s Investment Plan.’
