2. What are potential new markets/products that could be offered?
3. SWOT
4. Strategy: Smarter Food vision

Electronic managment of conformity certificates (application, issuance)
Re-organization of the inspection and control system incl. payments

Cornerstones:
Risk managment and paperless trade
Quality of Greece Produce
Origin of Greece as a world class tourist destination
Tradition of Greek Smallholders and regions
