环境治理
Greece is embarking on a long-term plan to overhaul its waste management practices. New technologies are needed to deal with an increasing burden of waste and that meet the demand for disposal, energy generation, recycling, and building new, closed-loop systems that limit waste generation.
希腊正投资一个长期治理垃圾的实践计划。不断增长的垃圾负荷以及为实现垃圾清理、能源再生、再循环，和建立闭合回路系统来抑制垃圾的时代都需要新的技术。
According to EU directives, all Member States, including Greece, should recycle 55-80% of packaging material by 2011 and decrease organic urban waste by 25% through composting processes at source by 2010. This should increase to 50% by 2013 and 65% by 2020.
根据欧盟组织规定，其所有成员国，包括希腊，到2011年要实现包装材料55-80%的再循环使用率；到2010年实现25%的城市有机物垃圾源地堆肥处理；到2013年提升至50%；2020年提升至65%。
Since there is insufficient domestic capacity to meet the needs of the market, investment opportunities are exceptional. The Greek government, local municipal authorities, and private waste management service companies need the expertise of foreign firms to fill this significant gap.
由于当地市场的需求和国内垃圾治理能力的匮乏，从而产生了巨大的投资契机。希腊政府、市政当局和私有垃圾治理服务公司都需要国外企业的专业知识来弥补这一空白。

As the world addresses diverse and challenging questions related to energy production and supply, Greece is in a pivotal position to chart its energy future, emerging as a strategic energy hub in Southeast Europe and a desirable location for investment.
有关能源生产和供应一直成为世界多变性和极具挑战性的问题，在未来能源领域里，希腊作为东南欧能源战略枢纽占据着特殊的地位，也使其成为了理想的投资地点。
The energy policy of Greece favours major private sector investment. It is estimated by the World Bank that investment of more than 30 billion Euro will be required by 2020 in the upgrade and building of power plants, in transmission and distribution, and in renewable energy sources (RES).
希腊能源政策有利于大多数私有投资企业。据估计，2020年世界银行将投资超过30亿欧元用于发电厂的建设和升级、能源传输和分配方面、以及可再生能源（RES）系统。
Greece’s comprehensive energy policy, to establish sustainable, competitive, and secure sources of energy, has established an encompassing regulatory and market framework for the energy sector. This, in combination with Greece’s wide-ranging investment regulatory framework, provides for exceptional opportunities for investment in a number of areas.
希腊能源政策是利用可持续的、有竞争力的、安全可靠的能源来源，为能源领域建立一套完整合理的市场体系。这与希腊投资政策一起，为外界提供了许多在这领域里难得的投资机会。
Recent legislation (Law 2773/1999) provides for the deregulation of the electrical energy market and as such, domestic production, transmission, and distribution in the energy field is open to private investors.
最新立法（法令第2773/1999条）规定缩小国家对电力能源市场的干预，例如，开放私有企业在国内能源生产、运输和分配领域的投资。
This sweeping change has transformed the electricity and energy market in Greece into one of the most exciting sectors of growth and opportunity in Europe. While previously all electricity production, transmission, and distribution was under the monopoly of PPC, today companies from around the world are taking advantage of this tremendous market opportunity.
这种彻底改变将使希腊的电力和能源市场成为新的增长兴奋点和欧洲新机遇。而在此之前，所有电力生产、输送、分配都是PPC垄断。今天，世界各公司正在利用这个巨大的市场机遇。
Last but not least, I must emphasize, Greece’s strategic geo-economic location, between energy producers in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caspian Sea region, as well as on the vital transport routes of the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, mark it as the expanding hub between East and West.
最后，我必须强调，希腊的战略地缘经济地位，使其在中东、北非和里海地区，以及爱琴海和东地中海的重要运输通道的能源生产商之间的地位十分重要，希腊是东西方之间的枢纽。
Greece has initiated crucial, major ventures in oil, gas, and alternative sources that literally put the country at the heart of the Southeast European energy center. Thank you for your attention.
希腊在石油、天然气和替代能源方面的关键性企业，使其成为名副其实的欧洲东南部能源中心的核心国家。谢谢您的关注。
