De græske myndigheder tilføjede, at det rentetilskud og den garanti, som staten havde ydet i kornsektoren, var påkrævet for at imødegå de faldende priser i 2008 som følge af overproduktionen af korn i Grækenland.
The Greek authorities added that the interest-rate subsidy and guarantee granted by the State in the cereals sector were necessary in order to deal with the fall of prices in 2008, which was caused by the overproduction of cereals in Greece.
