Greece’s obligation to force the public corporations that are up for 
sale to return European Union investment subsidies constitutes a major 
headache for the government, considering that the privatizations program has already suffered delays.
According to EU structural fund 
regulations, public interest projects are subsidized by the bloc at a 
rate that sometimes exceeds 80 percent. However, if those projects are 
privatized, the funding they secured as public interest works will have 
to be returned.
