    [02] Thessaloniki-Karamanlis-Visit

    09/09/2000 17:57:54

    Main opposition New Democracy party leader Costas Karamanlis, currently on a three-day visit to Thessaloniki, northern Greece, on the occasion of the 65th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), criticised the government on Saturday for the explosive increase in unemployment, adding that his party's policy rests on development, competitiveness, education and employment.

    Karamanlis, who was speaking at the Thessaloniki Labour Centre at noon during a meeting with its board, said unemployment threatened the foundations of society and added that for ND the implementation of a policy leading to an increase in employment in Greece is the key to confronting unemployment.

    Referring to labour relations, Karamanlis said ND favours labour market deregulation, but linked it to necessary structural changes, an active employment policy and the detection of management mistakes concerning the first two Community Support Frameworks.

    [03] US-Greece-Memorandum-Reno

    WASHINGTON (ANA - T. Ellis) - US Attorney General Janet Reno praised the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between Greek and US law enforcement agencies on Friday, saying the two countries are entering a new era of cooperation on such issues and are determined th handle challenges with self-confidence and mutual respect and trust. The memorandum, signed by herself and Greek Public Order Minister Michalis Chrysohoidis, focuses on confronting terrorism and organised crime.

    "The change of scene in security architecture in the post-coldwar era, combined with Internet technology has brought new major challenges in the handling of international organised crime and countries such as Greece and the US are making great efforts to handle these problems," she said.

    Reno expressed satisfaction over Greece's undertaking of a leading role in the Balkans on public order issues and pleasure over efforts made by Chrysohoidis during his recent visit to Albania to promote regional security and the combatting of organised crime.

    She stressed that the problem of terrorism has been plaguing the world for decades and continues to be a major threat as has been indicated by recent attacks on US embassies in African countries and by the murder of British military attache Stephen Saunders in Athens.
