A top name in Greek shipowning has lashed out at bureaucrats in Brussels and warned the Greek fleet could head overseas unless regulations change.
Theodore Veniamis, president of the Union of Greek Shipowners, has said that the European Union is undermining the stability of maritime activity in Europe by demanding changes to the Greek shipping institutional framework.
“The prospect of relocation to hospitable shipping countries outside Europe, or even within Europe but outside the European Union, is no longer hypothetical,” Veniamis warned in a speech.
