Greece: EU Aid
(asked on 7th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with her EU counterparts on the provision of humanitarian assistance to Greece.
This question was answered on 13th July 2015
We have not received a request from the Greek government for assistance. If we do, we will assess this on the basis of need. Greece is not eligible to receive Official Development Assistance as it has a GNI per capita of around $22,000. The maximum GNI per capita for a country to be ODA eligible is around $13,000. In the short to medium term it is therefore unlikely we could provide support through the aid budget.
