(2019) The participation of Greece in the European Space Agency (ESA): An interview with an ex-delegate of Greece to ESA

The interview was conducted in Greek and translated in English by Nicholas Argyros, EST Ambassador for Greece (2019 – 2020)

It is that time of the year! World Space Week has come again and in order to celebrate and honour it properly, we managed to have some basic queries about Greece’s participation in the European Space Agency (ESA) answered. We discussed thoroughly with Michael Kotsias, an ex-delegate of Greece to ESA from 2011 to 2017, about ESA’s operation and contribution to space technology development.

What duties and responsibilities did you have as a delegate of Greece to ESA?

I was a delegate to the Space Telecommunication Committee, to the Programme Board on Satellite Navigation (PB-NAV and to the Advanced Research Telecommunication Satellites (ARTES). Furthermore, I was part of the Joint Board on Communication Satellite Programme (JCB), part of the financial and manufacturing committees and part of the Council, which is the upper organ, making decisions about ESA. The main delegates of the Ministries participating in ESA participate in this Council. 

There is not only one delegate, the General Secretary of Greece is an ex-officio and supplementarily, I was a delegate myself, as someone had to be specialised in the topics discussed. Ultimately, I was part of the most committees. Hierarchy-wise Council was first, then the Administrative and Financial Committee (AFC), then Industrial Policy Committee (IPC) and then JCB and PB-NAV.

Crimea Is Ukraine
02/26/2023 08:06 AM EST

Ned Price, Department Spokesperson

Nine years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea – a clear violation of international law and of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United States welcomes the efforts of Ukraine’s Crimea Platform to focus global attention on Russia’s continued occupation. The United States does not and never will recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula. Crimea is Ukraine.

Η ενημέρωση από τον Κυβερνητικό Εκπρόσωπο, Γιάννη Οικονόμου

02/03/2023

Καλό μεσημέρι.

Ανείπωτη σιδηροδρομική τραγωδία στα Τέμπη

Θα ήθελα, και από το βήμα αυτό, να εκφράσω τη βαθύτατη οδύνη μας για το τραγικό σιδηροδρομικό δυστύχημα στα Τέμπη, που μας έχει συγκλονίσει όλους. Πρόκειται για μια ανείπωτη τραγωδία. Η σκέψη μας, η μέριμνά μας σταθερά βρίσκονται στους οικείους των θυμάτων, των αγνοουμένων και στους τραυματίες.

Όλοι είμαστε συντετριμμένοι από το τραγικό συμβάν στα Τέμπη. Δεκάδες ανθρώπινα δράματα, αβάσταχτος πόνος, εικόνες που συνθλίβουν την καρδιά και την ψυχή όλων μας. Τα λόγια είναι ανεπαρκή, είναι φτωχά, είναι λίγα για να εκφράσουν αυτό που συνέβη και κυρίως αυτό που προκάλεσε το τραγικό δυστύχημα σε όσους βρέθηκαν στον τόπο της τραγωδίας.

Ο Πρωθυπουργός και η Κυβέρνηση εκφράζουμε τη βαθιά μας θλίψη, τα συλλυπητήριά μας στους συγγενείς και τους οικείους των θυμάτων. Ταυτόχρονα, θέλουμε να αποδώσουμε τα εύσημα προς τους διασώστες, σε όλους τους ανθρώπους που σε μια τόσο δύσκολη, ψυχικά επώδυνη αποστολή έκαναν, ό,τι περνούσε από το χέρι τους. Για άλλη μια φορά επιτέλεσαν και επιτελούν στο ακέραιο το καθήκον τους.

ΠΑ.ΣΟ.Κ.-ΚΙΝ.ΑΛ. νέα

Δήλωση Νίκου Ανδρουλάκη, Προέδρου ΠΑΣΟΚ-Κινήματος Αλλαγής, στο σημείο του σιδηροδρομικού δυστυχήματος στα Τέμπη

Θέλω να εκφράσω τα θερμά μου συλλυπητήρια στις οικογένειες των θυμάτων, που έχασαν με τόσο άδικο τρόπο τη ζωή τους και να ευχηθώ γρήγορη ανάρρωση στους τραυματίες.

Η πατρίδα μας βιώνει μια ανείπωτη τραγωδία και στη σκέψη όλων μας υπάρχει ένα τεράστιο «γιατί;».

Γιατί ενώ υπάρχουν οι τεχνικές δυνατότητες εδώ και πολλά χρόνια, να κρέμονται τόσες ζωές από ένα ανθρώπινο χέρι.

 Σιδηροδρομικό δυστύχημα: Οι ευθύνες θα αποδοθούν τη στιγμή που πρέπει

Η πατρίδα μας βιώνει από το βράδυ της Τρίτης μια ανείπωτη τραγωδία. Η σκέψη όλων μας, αυτή τη στιγμή, είναι στις οικογένειες των θυμάτων που θρηνούν, στους τραυματίες κι όσους ακόμα αγωνιούν για την τύχη των δικών τους ανθρώπων. Πλανάται όμως κι ένα τεράστιο «γιατί», όταν υπάρχουν οι τεχνολογικές ασφαλιστικές δικλείδες για την πρόληψη και την αποτροπή τέτοιων μοιραίων συμβάντων, να κρέμονται ανθρώπινες ζωές από ένα ανθρώπινο χέρι. Αυτές οι ώρες είναι ώρες πένθους και οδύνης. Οι ευθύνες θα αποδοθούν στο ακέραιο και τη στιγμή που πρέπει. Αυτό δεν σημαίνει, όμως, ότι ο Πρωθυπουργός μπορεί μετά από τέσσερα χρόνια διακυβέρνησης να μεταθέτει για ακόμη μία φορά τις κυβερνητικές ευθύνες στις διαχρονικές παθογένειες και την αντικειμενική πολιτική ευθύνη του Υπουργού του, όπως επιχείρησε με τη χθεσινή του δήλωση. Τα ερωτήματα ειδικά για τα συστήματα τηλεδιοίκησης που δεν λειτουργούν από τον Δομοκό μέχρι τη Θεσσαλονίκη είναι αμείλικτα. Οι κυβερνήσεις υπάρχουν για να αντιμετωπίζουν τις παθογένειες και όχι για να τις επικαλούνται και να τις διαιωνίζουν.
