The government has to pass difficult, but necessary measures, Energy Min Skourletis says
The measures that the government has to pass are difficult, "but necessary in order to proceed," Environment and Energy Minister Panos Skourletis said in statements to Mega TV on Monday.

The government's aim is to create a climate that will gradually and steadily put an end to austerity policies, he added.
Referring to pensions cuts, Skourletis underlined that "the government is making efforts not to reduce main pensions."
Asked on the possibility of privatisation of Independent Power Transmission Operator ADMIE, he said: "The scenario of ADMIE privatisation is not under discussion, and we are looking for an alternative solution."
He cleared out that the government has submitted the relevant proposals and the discussion on the issue will start on Monday. "The energy networks need to be state run," he stressed.
