Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Dimitris Reppas met on July 1 with visiting French Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau and discussed the possibility of closer cooperation between the two countries in transport infrastructure and especially in the railways sector.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Reppas said that the plan for reforming Hellenic Railways (OSE) will be announced soon, adding that France’s SNCF could be an ideal partner for OSE.

The Greek minister also noted that the French side had expressed interest in a series of projects such as the Kasteli airport in Crete, motorways in Athens and new Metro lines.
