Environment and Sustainable Development: Greece has committed to further implement the EU strategy for sustainable development while promoting EU Competitiveness and pushing forward important environment legislative proposals. The implementation by candidate countries of the "aquis communautaire" within the time limints, the package on new chemicals legislation, the directive on Environmental Liability, regulation on labelling of GMOs and a directive on emission trading are the main activities that the Greek Presidency will carry out during next semester.
Health: Food, Drugs, Mental Health, Patients Mobility and the broadening of Health EU Competences were the 5 priorities that the Greek Minister for Health announced to the Members of the European Parliamentary Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy last 27 January.
