[01] IEO executive director satisfied with country's efforts to
maintain 90-day oil deposits
International Energy Organisation (IEO) Executive Director Claud Mandil
held talks with Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas on Thursday, in
the framework of the ministerial energy conference held in Paris, and
expressed his satisfaction and thanks for efforts made by the
development ministry in the past year to enable the country to meet its
international obligations on maintaining 90-day oil deposits.
Mandil said meeting this international obligation is very important at
this time of instability in the oil market and of high oil prices.
This measure helps to supply the oil market and functions in a
balancing manner as regards oil demand and supply, since it gives IEO
member-states the possibility of reacting immediately and effectively
in the event supply is discontinued.
Sioufas said efforts to maintain oil deposits will continue so that the
country can also contribute to the IEO's common targets in the best
possible way.
[02] Athens Mayor Bakoyiannis inaugurates capital's first 'Flower
Exhibition'

Square in central Athens the Greek capital's first Flower Exhibition,

Aharnon Nurseries, which will present a great variety of plants from
all over Greece from May 5-18 from 10.am. to 10 p.m.
