The need for our fellow citizens to have their buildings checked for damage by earthquakes as much as possible and to launch a series of procedures to compensate for it was well established at the end of January, on the part of the Regional Unity of Zakynthos, a request was made to the Minister of Infrastructure, so that our office will operate on our island, which will take over the requests,
“There is still no result. The operation of TΑΣ in Zakynthos remains a request from our side and we αρε tryινγ to consult the Ministry’s services, which have another view of things, “said the Regional Governor.
With regard to the issue of compensation for businesses affected not in respect of their buildings but equipment, raw materials and commodities, it is known that a first record was made by the Region but no compensation or financial subsidies intended for the repair of buildings.
“In order to finance and support the services on the basis of what had happened in Κephalonia in 2014, the Ministry of Economy and Development and in particular the Funds that will issue a special financing program need to be involved.
We are in agreement with these Funds to have a specific development program for Zakynthos, which will enable companies to benefit. Unfortunately, we can not announce anything at the moment, beyond the fact that we are trying to do so, based on the experience we have experienced in the past, “he said.
Among other things, the Regional Governor also referred to the cooperation with Professor Efthimios Lekka in relation to a research program to record the areas of increased risk in all the islands of the Region, including prevention measures,
“The aim is to see if there is a problem, what we can do before and very soon there will be answers for the Shipwreck. We will not leave Zakynthos unprofitable, there are problems, but we are here to give solutions, “he concluded.
