[01] Greece has been out of Dublin since 2011; it's time to change it, EU Commissioner Avramopoulos says

As he said, the aim is to meet the terms which were not met for years.

Avramopoulos stated that the European Commision will make a proposal for the revision of Dublin in March, as this framework is no longer "appropriate" to address the problem.

"Dublin exists and we need to respect it until we revise it," he concluded.

[02] Greece ranks second globally in photovoltaic energy production

However, changes in the institutional framework (price cuts in energy purchases from the system) and the introduction of capital controls led to a drastic reduction of new installations during 2015, falling to 10.3 MW, from 912 MW in 2012, 1,043 MW in 2013 and 17 MW in 2014. Power capacity of photovoltaic units in Greece surpassed 2,600 MW in 2015, of which half came from low-power units (up to 100 kW), mostly photovoltaic units installed on rooftops.

According to the company, passenger traffic posted a 157 percent hike last year in comparison with 2011.

Aegean Airlines extends its network for a third consecutive year offering travellers the opportunity to fly directly to 45 countries and 111 destinations.
