The Commissioner of COAP Mr. Andreas Kyprianou, accompanied by the Assistant Commissioner Mr. Andreas Evangellou and other executives of the Agency, held a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy Mr. Filippos Hadjizaharias. The Commissioner expressed his warm congratulations and wishes for every success in the new duties of the Deputy Minister.
The Commissioner informed the Deputy Minister about the competences and objectives of the Agency, as well as about the European grant programmes and the protection of European and national funds.
He added that among the primary objectives of the Agency are timely and accurate payments, further upgrading of the Agency's electronic systems, simplifying the submission of applications, disbursing as many European funds as possible, upgrading the information received by the farmer on the measures subsidised by the Agency, maximising the service to the farming community and generally supporting the wider rural population of Cyprus in a variety of ways.
The Commissioner also mentioned that the Agency's effort is to create a modern model for the development of its systems, based on the knowledge of experienced consultants in innovation and systems development, as well as a modern, citizen-friendly and functional system to assist the Cypriot farmer in order to revitalise the countryside and further flourish the Cypriot rural economy. The Commissioner asked for the support and contribution of the Deputy Ministry in this effort in order to formulate a common policy for the development of programmes that include e-government through the joint Government-COAP systems.
Finally, the Deputy Minister thanked the Commissioner and expressed his full support to both him and the Agency, stating that the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy will be at the disposal of the Agency for any assistance needed, as well as for the exchange of views and submission of suggestions, with the best interests of the Cypriot farmer in mind.
