[01] Greece wants guarantees before consenting to Turkey's EU candidacy statusAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Greece said yesterday it wanted guarantees that if it consented to Turkey's formal European Union candidacy status this would not be followed by a rekindling of disputes with Ankara."Greece does not wish to find itself tomorrow facing obstacles to Cyprus's accession prospects... (and) its sovereign rights being disputed, without clearly defined and accepted procedures by all on the most efficient way of resolving such disputes," Prime Minister Costas Simitis told reporters after meeting his Finnish counterpart, Paavo Lipponen. He said Greece wanted to endorse Turkey's candidacy at the EU summit in Helsinki next week, as this would be to the benefit of all, but would veto it without such guarantees. "It is in the interest of the European Union not to become entangled in disputes and face problems between members or candidates... We hope for an agreement in Helsinki but the participation of any country (in the EU) must guarantee development, peace and cooperation. If we don't achieve this framework, then we will say 'no' in Helsinki," he said. Mr. Simitis said Greece believed in Turkey's place in the European Union, as this would contribute to the strengthening of peace and cooperation in the region. "We consider that the era of conflict, threats, of expansion of one country at the expense of another is past. It is not only past, it is also incompatible with international law. It is for this reason that we believe in Turkey's European vocation. Its participation, at an initial phase, in the processes of European integration will facilitate peace and cooperation in the region," he said. "The European Union is a community of principles, values and rules assisting the common effort of overcoming irrational nationalisms and conflict. The EU leads to the creation of ties of friendship. It is to the benefit of Turkey, but also of Greece and the EU for Turkey to become part of this framework... We do not believe that Turkey's isolation is to Greece's benefit... Precisely because we do not believe in isolation, because we believe that the development of cooperation is necessary, we recently undertook a series of moves and initiatives to develop our relations. But Turkey's participation in the process of European integration will lead to problems... if there are no clear positions on the outstanding differences," he added. "The guiding criterion for our position is the country's interest. The interest in peace, security, development". Mr. Simitis said that clear answers required answers to the procedures regarding the entry of Cyprus to the EU. "The linking of entry and the political problem will unduly burden our relations with Turkey on an issue in which that country has no say. This is a European issue, it concerns the entry of Cyprus to the European Union. Any linking will create new tensi ons on Cyprus and this is precisely what we wish to avoid," he said. Mr. Lipponen, whose country currently holds the six-month rotating presidency, said that given the present favourable climate, such as has never existed before, there was an opportunity for certain encouraging steps on Turkey's part. Reppas : Earlier yesterday, government spokesman Dimitris Reppas told reporters that it was clear on what had to precede a positive decision that will bestow European Union candidacy country status on Turkey at next week's EU summit. "What the government will do (in Helsinki) will be led by the principle of ensuring national interest, as well as the interests of the European Union, " he said. To date, the government has repeatedly said that it could go either way in approving or rejecting Turkey as a candidate, saying that its stance was predicated to a great degree on the attitude to be taken both by Turkey and its EU partners. "The gov ernment is well aware of the framework in which it will be moving at the summit," Mr. Reppas said. He said that Greece was clear on what it was aiming for and what had to come before for the Community to achieve a decision which will ensure expansion and Turkey the status of candidate country. However, the spokesman noted that Turkey's stance to date did not appear to be matching with EU principles and that it was up to the European Union to take a decision. Mr. Reppas said that the time remaining to the beginning of the Helsinki summit was short but that nevertheless many things could occur in this interval which would ensure there is a positive outcome at Helsinki. Responding to a reporter's question, he said that the government had not dealt with the issue of a postponement of the discussion on expansion at the summit. He left open the prospect of a further discussion of the issue at a meeting of the inner cabinet next week. Yesterday morning, Prime Minister Simitis conferred at length with Foreign Minister George Papandreou and senior foreign ministry officials, ahead of talks with Finnish Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen. The talks focused on negotiations with Euro pean Union partners on the issue of Turkey's bid to become a candidate country with the 15-member bloc. Athens News Agency[02] Stephanopoulos hopes outcome of EU summit will be one of 'unity and common acceptance'LISBON, 03/12/1999 (ANA - N. Megadoukas)Visiting President Kostis Stephanopoulos expressed the hope the outcome of the European Union's Helsinki summit will be a result of "unity and common acceptance." He was speaking after holding talks here with his Portuguese counterpart Jorge Sampaio.The two presidents discussed bilateral relations between Athens and Lisbon and major EU problems, while President Stephanopoulos ascertained that there is "understanding" regarding Greek positions which "are known and will be set out once again at the Helsinki summit." President Sampaio underlined the ties existing between the two countries and their common history, as well as close cooperation in international organisations to which they belong in support of peace and democracy. He also stressed the significance placed by Portugal on Greece's leading role and position during events in this part of the world in past months. President Stephanopoulos praised Portugal's performance, particularly in the economic sector, adding that the two countries are proceeding together to achieve fulfillment of major European ideals. He said that with his Portuguese counterpart he discussed the future enlargement of the EU and agreed that, regardless of unfavourable economic consequences, enlargement should be supported for political reasons and added that they also focused on probl ems which might arise at the Helsinki summit. President Stephanopoulos visited the Portuguese Parliament in the afternoon, and later met with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres with whom he discussed Greek-Portuguese relations, as well as major issues concerning the European Union, in view of the upcoming EU summit in Helsinki and Portugal's assumption of the EU presidency on 1 January, 2000. After the meeting, an agreement was signed for the avoidance of double taxation, which will give impetus for further development in bilateral, economic and trade relations between Greece and Portugal. President Stephanopoulos later attended a dinner given in his honour by his Portuguese counterpart and referred to Greek-Turkish relations and to Turkey's European prospects. Mr. Stephanopoulos said that the devastating earthquakes in Greece and Turkey had brought the two peoples closer but the emotional upset experienced is not enough for a permanent rapprochement between the two countries. Athens News Agency[03] Greece to become full member of Schengen Treaty as of January 1, 2000BRUSSELS, 03/12/1999 (ANA - P. Pantelis)Greece is completing the implementation of the Schengen Treaty and will become a full member as of January 1, 2000.This is the result of the decision taken here yesterday by the Joint Schengen Committee at ministerial level, with the participation of Iceland and Ireland, in the framework of the European Union's Council of Justice and Interior Affairs Ministers. As a result of the decision, controls on Greece's internal borders with the other Schengen member-states will be lifted. Greece was represented by Foreign Ministry Secretary General S. Perrakis and Public Order Ministry Secretary General D. Efstathiadis . Mr. Perrakis termed the decision "historic." He said it was the end of a great effort to incorporate Greece in Schengen which anticipates the free movement of persons. The Netherlands and Denmark noted Greece's progress in the sector of controls for external borders and lifted reservations they had raised for procedural reasons (the decision should be ratified by their national Parliaments). France, which had disputed security on Greece's external borders, considers the decision satisfactory. However, the French representative said its success will depend on its implementation. Athens News Agency[04] Greek, Turkish officials begin Athens talks to final touches on range of agreementsAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)A team of Turkish and Greek government officials began talks in Athens yesterday on putting the final touches to a range of bilateral agreements arising from the so-called 'low-impact' talks between the two countries.The two sides have been meeting for months on a range of non-contentious issues which could provide the basis for further cooperation. These issues include tourism, police cooperation, the environment, and science and technology. Major issues of dispute between the two countries - such as Cyprus and a variety of issues relating to the Aegean - have not been touched on. According to diplomatic sources, the texts of the five bilateral agreements refer to tourist cooperation, the environment, issues of security for citizens, economic cooperation and cooperation in the scientific and technological fields. The sources said these agreements were in the final stages. The final touches to the pacts on the avoidance of double taxation, investment protection, shipping cooperation and cooperation in the energy sector are expected today. The sources added that a committee of high-ranking foreign ministry officials from both countries - which has been charged with overseeing the 'low-issue' talks - would convene before the EU Helsinki summit at the end of next week and draft a report on the outcome of the talks. The report will be forwarded to the foreign ministers of both countries. Athens News Agency[05] Greece, Bulgaria sign programme of cooperation to combat illegal immigrationSOFIA, 03/12/1999 (ANA - B. Borisov)Greece and Bulgaria yesterday signed a programme of cooperation providing for measures against illegal immigration. The programme, to be launched next year, will give priority to breaking the rackets smuggling people from Bulgaria to Greece.Athens News Agency[06] 'Turkey and Europe: Effects on Greek- Turkish Relations'Athens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Greece and Cyprus will gain the most out of a possible Turkish candidacy for accession to the European Union concluded the panel of a discussion organised by the Front of Logic Against Nationalism and the Pantion University of Athens yesterday.In the discussion entitled "Turkey and Europe: Effects on Greek-Turkish Relations", participated political and academic figures to express a revision in long-standing confrontation of problems between the two countries, including the Cyprus problem. Unanimously the panel condemned racism, nationalism, xenophobia, anti- europeanism, the idea of "a sisterless nation" and the "Israelisation" of Greece via immense purchases of armaments, which as they explained negate every effort for development and social policies. "We should not confront Helsinki with fear. To the contrary, it is a great opportunity for Greece, as Turkey's candidacy will lead to a decision by the EU, which will lay out a binding 'road map' (for Turkey) for the protection of human rights, democratic institutions and resolution of Greek- Turkish problems and the Cyprus problem," PASOK deputy Stephanos Manikas said, in his address. "It would be deeply disappointing if the preconditions for Turkey's candidacy are not met," Pantion University Prof. and member of the non- governmental organisation Alexis Iraklidis said. Mr. Manikas also said that "the national interest is better promoted, when we have wide open horizons, which allow us to maximise our comparative advantages in the international chess board. "Our aim is a strong Greece. A Greece that can exist within the environment of globalisation ... we aim for peace, security, cooperation, stability in Europe and in our region. "It is natural that struggling for peace, we exercise without obstacles our sovereign rights in the framework of International Law and international practice," Mr. Manikas said. Former ambassador Kostas Zepos addressed the need for the "creation of a stable framework of communication and dialogue, between societies of the two countries," which will lead to a better understanding of "each other" for the benefit of peace. Athens News Agency[07] Niotis attends annual ministerial meeting for Balkan cooperation in BucharestAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Greece is willing to commit 600 million dollars in the framework of the Stability Pact for joint investment programmes in the Balkans, Deputy Foreign Minister Grigoris Niotis told the annual ministerial meeting for Balkan cooperation in Bucharest yesterday.The meeting, also attended by the foreign ministers of Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Albania, focused on ways of implementation of the Pact. Mr. Niotis also announced the holding in Athens later this month of a meeting of the coordinators of the Stability Pact for that purpose. Meanwhile, the foreign ministry said that Greece would work for the re- inclusion of Yugoslavia in the annual Balkan conferences. "Greece considers unfortunate the fact that Yugoslavia's place has remained vacant, looks forward to its immediate reinstatement with a view to the restoration of normality in the framework of the Interbalkan Conference and the process of cooperation in SE Europe, and will work towards that end," said the statement. Athens News Agency[08] Athens to welcome new millennium with spectacular display of light and musicAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Athens will welcome the new millennium with a spectacular display of light and music. A total of 5,000 searchlights and hundreds of lamps will illuminate the Parthenon and all of Attica for 25 minutes.

Athens News Agency[09] No change in government policy on narcotics, spokesman saysAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Government spokesman Dimitris Reppas yesterday said that nothing had changed in the government's policy on narcotics.Mr. Reppas was responding to reporters' questions about comments made by Deputy Health Minister Theodoris Kotsonis on Wednesday in favour of the state providing free methadone and, possibly, heroin to young drug users. The minister, speaking to reporters, said that he had broached the issue in talks with the prime minister but that these talks had not got to a formal stage. Mr. Reppas said the deputy minister's comments had been made in the context of a dialogue presently under way on these issues and denied reports that Health Minister Lambros Papadimas was unhappy with Mr. Kotsonis' remarks. New Democracy shadow minister for social affairs Vassilis Mihaloliakos called Mr. Kotsonis' views "unacceptable" and said they ran counter to the views expressed by the inter-ministerial committee and national committee on narcotics. "Seriousness is needed to deal with this problem, something which seems to have abandoned the government," Mr. Mihaloliakos said. Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee on combatting the use of narcotics yesterday invited Foreign Minister George Papandreou and Mr. Kotsonis to testify on their views. Committee chairman Constantine Stephanis said that the views of the two ministers would be included in the discussion under way on the future of the detoxification programme. In the past, Mr. Papandreou has said he agrees with the decriminalisation of certain types of 'soft drugs' such as cannabis. He said that decriminalisation will separate users from drug dealers, decrease criminal activity and increase psychological support for addicts, as well as reduce the death rate of drug users since the state will be able to regulate the quality of the drugs. Athens News Agency[10] Greece says it fully sympathises with protesters in Seattle over WTO meetingAthens, 03/12/1999 (ANA)Greece said yesterday that it fully understood and sympathised with protesters in Seattle, where ministers from around the world were meeting on a world trade liberalisation deal.Although the World Trade Organisation is useful, government spokesman Dimitris Reppas said, the Greek government believes that countries' particularities, particularly cultural ones, must be taken into account. "We don't want homogeneity in the name of globalisation,"he said. Protesters were cleared from the centre of Seattle by riot police enforcing another night of curfew as ministers from around the world met on a global trade liberalisation deal. Police temporarily sealed off a downtown hotel with President Bill Clinton inside as clashes erupted nearby on Wednesday, the second day of protests against a meeting of World Trade Organisation ministers. In Athens, Mr. Reppas said public protests in Seattle revealed the public's sensitivity to issues affecting their lives over the next few years, adding that these sensitivities were understood. Referring to the Clinton visit to Greece last month, which was marked by violent street protests, the spokesman said that the violence in Seattle was a lesson to those critical of Greece for allowing members of the public to express their opposing views. He said that the lesson was directed to those who believed that street protests in Greece indicated a sickness at the heart of the country's democracy, adding that the government was against any form of illegal action. Athens News Agency[11] Statue of Venus of Lybia returned homeROME, 03/12/1999 (ANA - L. Hatzikyriakou)The famed statue of Venus of Lybia was repatriated yesterday as Italy's efforts to recover the statue from the Berlin Museum proved successful.Italian Prime Minister Massimo D' Alema delivered the statue during a special event to Lybian leader Muammar Gaddafi. Italy managed, following a diplomatic struggle, to succeed in its request to have the statue returned to Lybia. "Unfortunately there are at this time countries which have these sensitivitive differences (and I mean) that between Greece and Britain over the Parthenon Marbles," Mr. D' Alema said. The 2nd century A.D. statue left Lybia as a gift of the Italian occupation commander to Nazi leader Herman Goering and was since the end of the World War II part of the Berlin Museum collection. Athens News Agency[12] Yugoslav government opens bids for construction of key motorwayBELGRADE, 03/12/1999 (ANA/AP)The Yugoslav government opened bids yesterday for the construction of a key motorway to cross Serbia, which had been submitted by three joint ventures with the participation of several European countries and the US, according to a report by the Tanjug news agency.NATO bombings in spring which lasted 78 days led to the destruction of many factories, infrastructure, government installations and communications. For the time being, business opportunities in Yugoslavia are extremely limited due to the lack of capital and the refusal of many western countries to help the authorities in Belgrade for as long as President Slobodan Milosevic remains in power. The Public Works Ministry opened bids between three groups with French, Austrian, Greek, Swedish, Italian and American companies offering to cooperate with Yugoslav ones on the motorway which will link the city of Nis with the borders of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and will have a total length of 142 kilometres. The government's final decision on the bid to be ultimately accepted will be announced in 90 days, according to the head of the Bids Committee Kazimir Kouri, adding that all who have placed bids also expressed interest in other projects in various parts of Yugoslavia, such as the rebuilding of bridges destroyed on the River Danube.
