Greek government will table a supplementary budget of around 600 million euros to deal with the catastrophic damages caused by the Daniel Storm, Finance Minister Costis Hatzidakis said late Wednesday. 

In an interview with ANT 1 TV, Hatzidakis said that 450 million euros of the total amount would be earmarked for state aid and 150 million euros for farmers.

He also said that the first official assessment of the cost of damages would be included in the draft of the first new state budget in the beginning of October.

Asked about the prime minister's upcoming policy statement at the Thessaloniki International Fair (which was postponed from last week due to Daniel), he said that the government was committed to the supplementary pensions for certain categories of pensioners and to raising the solidarity bonus. 

However, he added that the market pass cards for households' supermarket bills cannot be extended further.

Hatzidakis also, said that the target for a primary surplus of 0.7% of GDP is non-negotiable and it would be a mistake to ask the European Commission to relax its fiscal policy, because it would convey the message that Greece will start rolling back into the crisis again.
