πŸ“‘ Radar

A new report reveals that the National Meteorological Service is unable to effectively monitor extreme weather phenomena due to a critical lack of functioning meteorological radar systems. This deficiency leaves the nation vulnerable to severe weather events. In economic news, the European Commission has issued its first assessment of Greece's implementation of the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive. The report identifies low coverage by Collective Labour Agreements as a significant obstacle for the country. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has hailed the entry of the French Meridiam group into the Greece-Cyprus undersea cable project as a vote of confidence, emphasizing its geopolitical significance. On a positive note, Metlen announced historically high performance for the first half of the year, with its EBITDA reaching a record 550 million. However, a tragic incident occurred in Malia, where a 42-year-old woman drowned while attempting to rescue a friend.
