He conveyed to the President the messages of support from the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament and the Greek Prime Minister. In statements after the meeting, he noted that Greece and Cyprus are facing similar problems and added that both sides are optimistic that "we are going to make it". "Hellenism has proven in the past that it has the ability to overcome the crises it faces" the Deputy Speaker said, adding that "we believe that the same will happen this time as well". [03] Sacrifices are evenly shared in Cyprus, says ILO officialUnlike what happened in other European countries, Cyprus has not seen measures aimed at deregulating labour market or downgrading collective bargaining, Raymond Torres Director of the International Institute for Labour Studies, the International Labour Organization's (ILO) top research facility, has told CNA.He has also warned that if nothing gets done to combat youth unemployment, southern European countries, Ireland but also the core European countries, such as France and Germany, would be affected. In an interview with CNA, Torres says that the shock is recent in Cyprus so the financial fallout may still affect for a period of time the economy, noting that Cyprus' recovery also depends very much on what happens in other European countries and at global level. "Unlike what happened in other European countries, apparently there have been no firm measures to deregulate the labour market or downgrade collective bargaining. I think this is a positive point, maybe it's a lesson from what has been done in other countries. What Cyprus and other countries need is social cohesion and balanced measures.
