Benefits should go to those who really need them and not to those who have increased assets, emphasized the Minister of National Economy Kostis Hatzidakis, announcing the creation of a central register in which all beneficiaries of social benefits will be registered, so that there is total supervision .
According to Hatzidakis, who spoke to Ertnews, the Ministry of Labor is also in the process of reviewing the unemployment benefit, so that it is more effective and we will start to create a central register of benefits, as is the case in Great Britain, so that there is global supervision. of the OPECA subsidies and the Ministry of Labor subsidies and the heating subsidy and to know who gets what and why they get it.
There is no correlation between subsidies, continued the minister. “So when we look at the benefits in their entirety and not the big picture, we can draw safer conclusions and, ultimately, have a fairer policy, a more targeted, more effective policy.”
He also mentioned that the legislative regulation that will pave the way for the payment of emergency financial aid at Christmas will be presented in November.
