“I have been working in taxation files in both indirect and direct taxation for 21 years, first in the public sector in Greece, then in the Economic and Financial Affairs (ECOFIN) Council and for the last 4 years in the European Commission after succeeding in the EPSO AD taxation competition. For me, working in the Commission means that ‘every day counts’. It counts because I am contributing, with my own policy reflections, analytical work and experience, collectively with other colleagues, to shaping EU taxation policy. Every contribution is a little step further in making the Single Market work in practice for citizens and business.”
