Η The European Commission has approved a project for high-speed broadband in Greece 223 million from EU funds, with over € 196 million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and € 27 million from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). This investment will provide modern and fast internet access to users across the country, benefiting approximately 11 million people.
The Commissioner for Cohesion and Reform, Eliza Ferreira, he said: "This is a clear example of the added value of cohesion policy that ensures that no one is left on the sidelines. "Thanks to this investment, Greek citizens - and especially those living in remote areas - will benefit from efficient, modern and high-speed internet access."
High-speed broadband will also contribute to the creation of direct and indirect jobs and businesses. It will benefit consumers by providing them with better access to e-commerce services, citizens, who will benefit from e-government, and employees, who will have the opportunity to telework, thus reducing the time they spend on their travels and expenses such as the office rent.
The high-speed broadband project will be launched in May 2021.
