Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis, in a post on social media, emphasised the importance of transferring responsibilities from the Payment Authority of the Common Agricultural Policy (OPEKEPE) to the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE).
Pierrakakis noted that the primary aim of the reform is to establish a modern and efficient subsidy payment mechanism that ensures rapid, transparent, and fair distribution to beneficiaries. He further underscored the necessity of enhancing payment procedures and creating new digital services to facilitate the transition.
According to Pierrakakis, the selection of AADE was based on its ability to modernise and digitise essential public functions, particularly within the tax system.
