energy saving and recycling of packaging, will manage to reduce the impact

to the environment and at the same time to achieve the development of the

agricultural sector.

One area of the economy which should support Greece in its exports and

promote quality Greek food.

I hope that we will manage to achieve the goals of social welfare through rural

As She Write:-

Subject: Sustainable Development.

Dear Sir / Madam,

The impact of environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources,

and the increasing complexity of issues, related to environment and

development, have led to an increased interest of the international community

on these issues.

Environmental protection and sustainable development carried out by the

parallel and equal promotion of the three pillars of economy, society and the

environment – and not recently are identified necessities.

I believe that within Greece as a member of the European Union, as many

still need to be done, to achieve the objectives and commitments for the

adoption and implementation of a coherent policy on the environment and

sustainable development in line with Europe 2020.

I believe that Greece should not be in response to the crisis be alienated and

isolated from the rest of the international and European community, keeping a

role estranged from very large, everyday problems of the Greek and

European community, and in particular the problems faced by Greece on

everyday topics malnutrition, very low growth rates and so on., and everything

that relate to the developing world, such as malnutrition, the spread of

diseases, the very low growth rates and so on .

Greece through the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, which

includes specific policies such as spatial planning, urban development,

ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI

energy, transportation, agriculture, tourism, employment, industry and

measures to environmental priorities such as climate change, air quality, solid

waste, water resources, biodiversity, desertification and forests should

improve the country's profile, focused on issues of water resources, sanitation

and human settlements, integrated water resources management and

effective management to deliver concrete feasible programs that promote the

Greek spirit. Our goal should be through sustainable development economic

and social prosperity, an economic development which ensures the present

generations but it puts the bases for future generations. The objective is

always the economic growth and creating new jobs.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

With Respect,
