    • [01] ND calls for end of truckers' mobilisations

    (ANA-MPA) -- Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras on Monday appealed to truck owners to suspend their mobilisations and, at the same time, called on the prime minister to extend the transitional period for implementation of legislation liberalising the road freight transport sector.

    Samaras made the appeal in response to the problems created in the supply of market as a result of the ongoing mobilisations. (ANA-MPA)

    He stressed that "reason should prevail to both sides of the conflict because the market has reached its limits and will not be able to withstand the current situation much longer." (ANA-MPA)

    [02] Portuguese cruiseship in Piraeus

    (ÁÍÁ-ÌPA) -- The Portuguese-flagged cruise ship "Grand Celebrity", which sailed into the port of Piraeus on Monday morning, is the first such vessel to dock at the Xaveriou terminal, a development that coincided with World Tourism Day.

    The Grand Celebrity hosts roughly 1,600 passengers and crew. (ÁÍÁ-ÌPA)

    In welcoming the vessel, Deputy Culture and Tourism Minister Giorgos Nikitiadis noted that tourist arrivals in 2010 were not reduced compared to 2009 but on the contrary, (ÁÍÁ-ÌPA) showed a slight increase, in spite of the difficulties plaguing the country and earlier pessimistic predictions.
