Minister of Energy, Commerce, and Industry, George Papanastasiou, will be in Warsaw and Athens over the coming days for the EU joint informal Competitiveness and Trade Summit and the 14th Athens Energy Summit.
Papanastasiou departed for Warsaw on 3 February to participate in the two-day joint Informal Meeting of Ministers of Competitiveness (Industry and Internal Market) and Trade Ministers, organised for the first time by the Polish Presidency of the EU Council, a Ministry press release said.
During the Summit, the Ministers are expected to exchange views on the reasons for the decline in the EU's competitiveness, while also discussing the latest developments in the Union's relations with the USA.
