  • [01] Positive response to Greek proposal for conference on FYROM

    Athens, 03/07/2001 (ANA)

    Greece's initiative to have an international conference convened on the future of FYROM with the participation of the European Union, the United States and Russia has met with a positive response, Greek foreign ministry spokesman Panos Beglitis said Monday.

    Beglitis told a press briefing that the initiative was currently underway, and the proposal had already been discussed at length by foreign minister George Papandreou with his counterparts in France, Britain, the US and Russia.

    The conference could likely be convened in Paris, at a time not yet decided, Beglitis said, adding that the Greek proposal had been well received by Greece's EU partners as well as the political forces in FYROM.

    [02] First 'mad cow' instance in Greece reported

    Athens, 03/07/2001 (ANA)

    The first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), better known as 'mad cow disease', in Greece has been confirmed at a slaughterhouse in the country's north, prompting an emergency agriculture ministry and health services meeting on Monday.

    According to initial reports, authorities ordered the destruction of some 150 cattle from the same herd as the diseased animal, believed to have arrived at an abattoir in the town of Serres from neighboring Kilkis prefecture.

    Agriculture Minister George Anomeritis reassured consumers that there was no danger to consumers as Greece's meet supply was thoroughly checked, stressing that since the beginning of the year 6,703 specimens of slaughtered animals were checked and were returned negative for BSE.

    The Greek national scientific committee convened to discuss the problem, while the European Union was informed of the incident and measures taken in the Union began to be implemented in Greece as well.

    Meanwhile opposition parties reacted to the news of the discovery of a "mad cow" disease in northern Greece and were led by main opposition New Democracy (ND) party's criticism of government "delays and inadequate controls".

    ND agricultural sector spokesman and Parliament deputy Athanasios Nakos said that his party had criticized the governmental inaction, when the crisis hit Europe, adding that at that time his party tabled concrete measures to deal with the problem, preventing it from appearing in Greece.

    He stressed that on May 2, ND announced that controls for "mad cow" disease in Greece were conducted to only 2,000 animals since the crisis, while during the same period there were 51,000 tests in Italy and 32,000 tests in Spain.

    On its part, a Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismos) press release stressed the economic dimension of the problem, which will hit hard the beef producers of Greece, noting that the country cannot be named anymore among those "safe" from the disease.

    [03] Spokesman comments on VPRC poll results, Economy ministry report

    Athens, 03/07/2001 (ANA)

    The results of a VPRC poll last weekend showed that Prime Minister Costas Simitis remained the undisputed leader of ruling PASOK, government spokesman Dimitris Reppas said on Monday in response to questions.

    The poll published by the Greek newspaper 'Eleftherotypia' showed that the initiative to hold an earlier PASOK congress, moved forward at Simitis' insistence to October, enjoyed widespread support among PASOK voters.

    "We need to clarify our policies and become the better government citizens demand," Reppas added.

    Asked to comment on the National Economy ministry's report on the Greek economy, the spokesman said that the government's 2001 budget was being implemented correctly and successfully and that the course of the Greek economy was satisfactory and within the government's predictions.

    He said that there were no plans for a meeting between Simitis and PASOK member Theodoros Pangalos.

    Venizelos refers to PASOK congress after meeting Paschalidis: Moving forward is the way out for PASOK, Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos said on Monday, adding that the PASOK congress in October must be the springboard for this strategy. Commenting on a VPRC poll published over the weekend, which showed widespread backing for an earlier congress among PASOK voters, he said the government and ruling party still had the initiative and would make good use of this until the October congress.

    Venizelos was speaking after a meeting with Macedonia-Thrace Minister George Paschalidis in Thessaloniki to discuss EXPO 2007-2008 and the EU Summit in 2003.

    Regarding the EXPO international trade fair, they said a tender for feasibility studies would begin on Monday. The initial plans call for the facilities of the Thessaloniki International Fair to form the nucleus for EXPO facilities.

    The two ministers also said that the city would be ready to receive the EU leaders for the 2003 Summit, which they predicted would be one of the most successful held.

    Reppas, Skandalidis comment on 'rush' to join PASOK: Commenting on reports of a 'rush' to join PASOK that has taken many political analysts by surprise, government spokesman Dimitris Reppas said on Monday that this was "natural and to be expected".

    The spokesman also said that the large number of new members, reportedly as many as 83,000 since the party's congress was moved up to October, was not a problem.

    Referring to the reports during a Monday press conference, meanwhile, PASOK Central Committee Secretary Costas Skandalidis attributed the increase in membership to greater activity within the party in view of the congress.

    The press conference was held to present an event on Wednesday in honor of PASOK founder Andreas Papandreou.

    Without mentioning any specific numbers, Skandalidis said that this phenomenon was observed every time the party was due to hold internal elections, either to choose congress delegates or candidates in municipal and prefectural elections.

    He said, however, that the response this time was far greater than for PASOK's last elections to choose prefectural committees and their secretaries.

    Predicting that the congress would have a successful outcome, Skandalidis said he would not be standing for another term as secretary to the party's central committee.

    The late PASOK leader’s son Nikos presented details of the event in memory of Andreas Papandreou, which is being organized by the Papandreou Foundation.

    According to Nikos Papandreou, the evening would differ from similar events along the same lines by attempting to explore the late leader's 'inner thoughts' by presenting documents dating from his time in exile that were being seen for the first time or had not been seen for many years.

    Held at the 'Melina Mercouri Rock' theatre, the evening will also feature a musical program conducted by Ilias Andriopoulos.

    [04] ND leader says visit to Chios and Psara 'trial for other model of governance'

    Athens, 03/07/2001 (ANA)

    Main opposition New Democracy party leader Costas Karamanlis on Monday termed his two-day visit to the Aegean islands of Chios and Psara a "trial test for another model of the country's governance."

    In a meeting with local officials in Chios in the morning, Karamanlis said he came to listen, while the main issues brought to his attention were the transportation problem, the problem of inadequate water supply, rates of growth and unemployment.

    Referring to regional issues, Karamanlis said the Aegean requires different handling, adding that "they are the lungs of Greece" and noting that his party's option is an integrated insular policy.

    Karamanlis placed emphasis on the need for infrastructure projects to be carried out and said the lack of them "cannot be covered by any private initiative."

    He referred to the need for a modern airport and port and focused on a solution to the water supply problem, saying that, apart from insular regions, it poses a huge problem elsewhere as well, such as in Thessaly, central Greece.

    Karamanlis further said that support should be provided for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and added that top priority should be given to the radical reformation of the existing development law.

    Commenting on the issues of agriculture and shipping, Karamanlis said an aggressive agricultural policy is necessary which will be based on the quality of products and went on to say that he does not believe that Greek shipping is on a downhill course of decline.

    "It will be a crucial and a national strategic mistake for us to believe that the good times have gone for shipping and that we should not place the principal weight on it," he said.

    [05] Turkey removes landmines from Greek border as bilateral relations improve, Turkish FM says

    ISTANBUL, 03/07/2001 (ANA - A. Kourkoulas)

    Turkey is in the process of removing landmines from the Greek-Turkish borders in Thrace, Turkish Foreign Minister Ismail Cem said in an interview to Turkish daily Milliyet.

    "The danger of conflict and 'hot' incidents in the Aegean is reduced and we are removing landmines from the Greek-Turkish borders in Thrace," he said, stressing that great steps in improving relations between the two countries have been taken.

    Speaking on Greek-Turkish difference of positions regarding the Aegean and the European Union call that the two countries take them to the International Court at the Hague by 2004, Cem said that his country is ready to discuss the resolution of problems with Greece based on the UN Charter Article 33, which does not require that the two countries seek recourse to the court, adding that "in 2004 a reassessment of the situation will take place".

    Greece recognizes only one difference with Turkey in regards to the Aegean, that being the issue of continental shelf exploitation rights.

    Speaking on Cyprus, Cem called Cyprus accession prospect to the European Union a "Pyrric victory", if it takes place before the resolution of the Cyprus problem, adding that Turkey's reaction to such an event will be without limits.
