The government is about to remove the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) from public sector procedures in terms of recruitment of critical specialties, assignment of projects and supplies, as well as executive remuneration.
The main goal is to speed up the restructuring of the organization and to fix problems that were tragically highlighted by the deadly Tempe crash.
“The goal is to get OSE out of the narrow public sector,” the organization reports.
There are three main pillars of the changes: faster procedures for projects related to railway safety, flexibility and speed in recruitment with the aim of attracting executives from the market, and greater funding.
