[01] Prime minister and finmin discuss upcoming legislation, NSRF

After the meeting, Alogoskoufis said that the top priority was to start implementing the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) for 2007-2013.

The ministers said that the draft bill was now in the final stages of preparation, with the European Commission's expected to give its approval in the first trimester of 2007. It is expected to go into effect in the first half of the year, by which time the relevant legislation will have been passed.

The National Strategic Reference Framework is a new document required by EU regulations, in which member states outline their strategy for spending Structural Funds. It relates to the overall Community Strategic Guidelines which apply to the whole of the EU. The whole process is very closely aligned to the Lisbon agenda and each NSRF has to clearly show how the actions it proposes will further the EU push for competitiveness, growth and more and better jobs with increased social cohesion.

Politics

[02] Greek-US 'excellent' cooperation reaffirmed in talks between FM, US envoy

Koumoutsakos stressed that the Greek side's firm political determination for results in confronting the phenomena of terrorist was a given fact.

"The ascertainment we made from the beginning that the incident will not affect Greek-US relations is being confirmed every day," Koumoutsakos added, referring to Friday's early-morning rocket attack at the US embassy in Athens that caused minor material damage but on injuries.

During the meeting, Bakoyannis briefed the US envoy on prime minister Costas Karamanlis' tour of Balkan countries earlier this week and the developments in the region, in view of elections in Serbia slated for January 21 and UN Kosovo mediator Martti Ahtisaari's anticipated submission of proposals a few days later.

The two sides further discussed preparation of the NATO extraordinary meeting to discuss the Afghanistan issue "which is high on the agenda of both the US and the Alliance," Kou-moutsakos added.

Also, the Greek side put forward the issue of Greece being included in the US visa waiver programme, Koumoutsakos said, adding that "contacts between officials of the two sides for progress in this matter are continuing normally".

[03] 'I feel absolutely safe in Greece,' U.S. ambassador says

He also referred to investigations to detect the perpetrators, that are taking place under the supervision of the Greek authorities.

"We must always be prepared and in a state of vigilance for the possibility of terrorism. Unfortunately, in our era it is a reality in the lives of all. The American embassies in particular are targets all over the world. We are in a state of continuous and increased alert," he said.

Ries said that being a diplomat and not an investigator, he cannot assess whether the perpetrators are usual suspects from the past, stressing that he feels that nothing must be ruled out.

"We are cooperating very closely with the public order mini-ster, Mr. (Vyron) Polydoras and all his associates to find what evidence we can. The embassy staff cooperated with the public order ministry and the Greek Police throughout the weekend. They have taken testimonies from citizens and they have collected evidence. Yes, we have a tape that has been taken from cameras around our embassy and we have delivered it to the Greek police," he said.

Asked whether it is material that can be utilised and whether there is a clear picture, Ries said "it shows the rocket streaking across the street into the embassy. It was dark and it is not as clear as we would like. We are bringing some experts to see what they can do in relation to the picture and find ways of improving it. I hope the tape will be improved, but there are limits to how good it can become under these circumstances."

In reply to whether the tape provides evidence on the suspects, the U.S. ambassador said "there is an investigation that is under way under the supervision of the Greek authorities. I do not wish to go into elements of the investigation with details. I will repeat that both authorities will not leave any opportunity unused in our effort to find and convict those who are responsible for this terrorist act. This attack is directed in reality both against Greece and the U.S. embassy. It is the country that has been dealt a blow by this attack. I know that the government, the Greek police and all who are involved will not leave any opportunity unused in the effort to achieve an absolute in-depth investigation to enable us to find what we can."

Urged to disclose whether he had any information that such an event could take place, Ries said "I think that we must always be prepared and be in a state of vigilance for the possibility of terrorism."

Commenting on the level of cooperation between Greek and American security services, Ries said "excellent. We brought some experts over the weekend to help out. The Greek government is supervising the investigations in all sectors. We are cooperating fully and we are giving every piece of information that can contribute to the investigations to the government, the police and the ministry. In such cases, the way leading to the success of investigations is very often unpredictable."

Asked whether the FBI is involved in the investigations, the ambassador said "the FBI has been involved, but its involvement has nothing to do with the dimensions that have been given. Some of its good members have come."

Questioned whether he is satisfied with the work of the Greek counter-terrorism service and of the other Greek authorities, he said "as I said from the beginning on Friday, I am very satisfied. Absolutely satisfied with the cooperation and the enthusiasm with which the Greek authorities are approaching the problem."

On the question of whether he does not rule out the possibility of an international connection, Ries said "there is an assumption of responsibility by a local group and I think that we must take it into serious consideration. I am not saying that there is clear evidence of an international connection, but I am saying that every good investigation for me must examine evidence from all sources and we must not start with pre-judices."

Lastly, Ries was asked whether he loves the country and travels frequently with his wife, if he will continue to travel and if he feels safe and said "absolutely. I feel safe. My job here is to represent the United States in Greece. I have taken it seriously and I will continue to travel and do my job as best as I can."

[04] Gov't on use of traffic camera footage in terror investigation

"When you have technology at your disposal, you can use this while absolutely respecting the Constitution and private life," he told reporters.

According to Roussopoulos, surveillance and recordings by cameras should be allowed in public areas, where the private life of citizens was not being violated. He also pointed to the example of Britain, where the arrest of those responsible for the bomb attack on the London underground was made possible by using clues from CCTV.

Asked whether the government was considering bringing legislation on this issue, Roussopoulos replied that the government was first waiting for the decision of the Council of State, Greece's supreme administrative court, to which the government has applied to obtain permission to use CCTV material as an exception to a independent privacy authority ruling banning their use for anything other than monitoring traffic flow.

He also noted that the cameras had originally been installed for security surveillance purposes during the Olympic Games, during which time they were used in a way that fully respected the private life of Greek citizens, while noting that it was bizarre to send out a message that the Greek State was interested in protecting the lives of foreigners but not of Greek citizens.

[05] Police chief confident of cracking terror strike case

"...when all the evidence is collected and processed we will have the result that you and we desire. We are serious. A mistake on our part from here on cannot be forgiven," he said.

Outlining police actions in response to the attack and the progress of the investigation so far, Dimoschakis stressed that there had been a high-level response, in which all members of the police force had followed the plan developed for such incidents, which was now in full deployment.

He said that all vehicles in the area - which exceeded 20,000 in number - had now been checked, as well as all Athens hospitals near the area since use of a rocket-propelled grenade was likely to cause injury.

Dimoschakis underlined that the Greek police force was taking the case extremely seriously, with the anti-terrorist squad on full alert and collaborating with foreign law enforcement agencies, and police were gathering and analysing all the evidence in the case and were equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories.

[06] Karamanlis,Voulgarakis discuss culture ministry issues

Voulgarakis told reporters that next year will be Greece's year in China, a fact that presupposes the joint mobilization of many government ministries, adding that within this framework a discussion was held with Finance Minister George Alogo-skoufis.

Responding to a question on the use of surveillance cameras, Voulgarakis stressed that such mechanisms should be activated because in the end they benefit democracy, as long as the constitutional guarantees are being observed and citizens' privacy is respected.

Voulgarakis also stated that he has complete confidence in the Greek Police and its operational mechanisms, that can and will bring results.

[07] PM congratulates MEP Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou on EuroParliament post

Government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos said that the prime minister, in his letter to the MEP, noted that her election was an "eloquent recognition of her work during her eight-year term at the European Parliament".

[08] Parliamentary committee rejects PASOK's proposal on Greek citizenship and voting rights

The PASOK party's proposals were rejected by the government deputies, with the exception of Aris Spiliotopoulos who cast a blank vote.

Interior Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos accused PASOK of "functioning like a pendulum that moves between uncertainty and hypocrisy."

PASOK Deputy Evangelos Venizelos said on his part that "it is not possible that people living among us and shaping Greek society are not able to enjoy its respect."

Pavlopoulos said that PASOK is trying to handle two very important issues in an offhand manner and without examination and study having taken place, at a time when its cadres are well aware how many difficulties and risks are involved in a possible amateurish handling of these issues.

[10] KKE leader holds talks with security forces employee directorates

Papariga stressed that "we do not agree at all with the effort being made for the further militarisation of all these services in the direction of strengthening the suppression of the popular movement."

The KKE leader noted that "we consider speculation develo-ping lately that there is no police and that everything has fallen apart very suspicious. All these lead, in our view, to the creation of special bodies, either paramilitary or parapolice, that will have nothing to do with protection from social crime but will play a repressive role and will lead to situations that will be very extreme."

Lastly, Papariga said "we are opposed to such developments. This speculation which is developing is very suspicious and, indeed, it becomes even more suspicious following the developments at the U.S. embassy. All have immediately started to call for special bodies, apart from technical means, the cameras, to solve the problem for us."

[11] Government defends plans to revise Constitutional protection for forests

"The sensitivity of all of us to the environment is extremely great," he added, pointing out that the current situation with extensive illegal construction and land use was not satisfactory.

"We are currently using aerial photographs of 1945 to determine whether an area is a forested expanse. From World War II until today, however, forested expanses have evolved into cultivated expanses and we continue to pretend, while leaving unsolved a major problem - that of the forest registry - that would record and define the situation without misinterpre-tations," he said.

According to Roussopoulos, the government's proposal was to use aerial photographs taken in 1975 that would allow the problems to be solved, while helping to protect the remaining forests and strengthening the country's policy for forests.

"It is not possible for us to believe that a purely agricultural expanse in Thessaly that has been cultivated for the past 50-60 years is forest, because this is recorded in a aerial photograph of 1945. If we continue not to see reality, in effect we are contributing to the degradation of the environment," he added.

A later government could then try to redress the illegal acts committed after 1975, based on the relevant photographs, he said.

Financial News

[12] Greece plans to issue 50-year bond

'We have this capability and this a very big success for the country,' the Greek minister said, adding that 'until 2003 state borrowing could reach only 20-year maturity'.

Speaking to reporters, Doukas presented the Greek govern-ment's borrowing programme for 2007 which includes issues and re-issues of benchmark bonds and interest-bearing bills. The Greek state will issue 5-, 10- and 30-year bonds and one 15-year issue. The government will not issue three-year bonds. The 10-, 15- and 30-year bonds will be syndicated issues, while re-issues will be auctioned. Five-year issues will be auctioned, while the government will issue a syndicated inflation-linked bond loan depending on market conditions.

The government hopes to raise around 28.5 billion euros through its borrowing programme this year, of which 17 billion through syndicated issues and 11.5 billion through auctions.

Greece has successfully auctioned a 10-year benchmark bond. Bids offered totalled 8 billion euros, while the issue was 5.0 billion euros. The government will issue a 30-year bond in early February and two new benchmark bonds (one 15-year and an inflation-linked bond) in spring.

Doukas said the government will issue three-, six- and 12-month bills totalling 1.0 billion euros and other strategic securities issues totalling 4.0 billion euros.

[13] Absorption rate of EU funds reached 58 pct in 2006

The Greek minister, presenting a report of EU funds' absorption for 2006, said there were no loss of funds last year and that funds remaining to be absorbed in a Third CSF programme totalled 13.7 billion euros. Folias said the government would not have any problems absorbing these funds by Easter 2009. The Greek minister said that a National Strategic Reference Programme, covering the Fourth Community Support Framework for the period 2007-2013, was at the last stage of drafting and was expected to be tabled to Parliament soon.

Folias also announced that a total of 4,400 applications have been made with a new investment law 3299, budgetted at 11.82 billion euros, with subsidies totalling 5.0 billion euros. The Greek minister said the government has already approved 2,649 applications, worth 4.745 billion euros with subsidies more than 2.0 billion euros.

[14] PASOK party criticises government over 3rd CSF

"The government has failed disastrously in utilising the biggest development programme (3rd CSF) that our country ever had at its disposal. Today's announcements are, unfortunately, once again completely distant from reality. The greatest confession of failure is the recent voluntary cutback in the budget of the 3rd CSF by 1.8 billion euros, with a corresponding annulment of projects and investments for regional development," an announcement by PASOK's economy sector said.

PASOK pointed out that in 2004 "absorption on an annual basis decreased by 4 percent and since then it has been backed continuously with accounting methods and moves, such as the retrospective inclusion of projects that were financed by national funds with a decrease in the CSF budget."

The party added that "the same scenario was repeated in 2006. In the programme of the Information Society alone in December 2006, 22 projects from the past were included, approved and given contract status and showed expenditures totalling 148 million euros, projects that had been implemented with national funds."

"Last year, at this time of the year, Mr. Folias announced that from now on expenditures had to be 7 billion euros a year so that there would be no losses. In 2006, less than 4.5 billion euros were ultimately absorbed for the 3rd CSF," the announce-ment said.

[15] Coalition party comments on 3rd CSF

"Despite the desperate efforts by Mr. Christos Folias to beautify, with a host of alchemies, the course of the 3rd Com-munity Support Framework, reality is implacable," said the party's Political Bureau member and economic and social policy chief Panayiotis Lafazanis.

"With the responsibility of the New Democracy government and of the previous PASOK government, billions of euros from the 3rd CSF will be lost, while even those that will be absorbed will not have the necessary development and social impact and a considerable part of them is being provided with purely clientele and partisan expediencies," he added.

[16] Talks with EU on Olympic next week

Government negotiators would maintain their position that a settlement should be allowed resulting from a figure of 560 million euros owed by the state to the national carrier and state subsidies the Commission believed were illegally given to Olympic, Doukas reported.

[17] Gazprom official makes statement on south European natural gas pipeline

The plan for the south European pipeline includes the extension of the Russian Blue Stream pipeline, that exports natural gas to Turkey, to the southern part of Italy through Greece, as well as in the direction of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria.

[18] First technological cluster inaugurated

It is the Microelectronics Innovation Centre that gathers, under the same roof, 15 rapidly developing Greek and foreign high technology companies employing 200 people.

Speaking to reporters after the inauguration, the development minister said that the technological cluster, the first to be created in Greece, together with the other five Innovation Poles that are being created all over the country, "will place Greece, the scientific and research community, in a leading position."

Addressing the event, Sioufas said that the inauguration of a high specialisation cluster in new technologies and in innovation signals the country's tangible entry into the new economy.

The Capital Markets Commission of Cyprus on Tuesday called Marfin Popular Bank to withdraw its public offers to the shareholders of Bank of Cyprus and Bank of Piraeus on the grounds that it breached market regulation.

[22] Hellenic Exchanges reiterates goal to expand in Southeastern Europe
