[01] PM briefed on FinMin's contacts in Washington

The finance minister briefed Papandreou on his contacts on the sidelines of the IMF Spring Meeting, as well as the progress of negotiations in Athens with a mixed team of experts sent by the European Central Bank (ECB), European Commission and the IMF.

"The negotiations are going well. We hope that they will be completed soon and we will thus have a three-year framework for economic policy and the funding terms, Papaconstantinou said, adding that he was absolutely certain that Greece would be able to continue borrowing without obstructions.

Asked whether the measures would affect salaries in the private sector, the minister said that there was "a discussion underway".

"We have said that the competitiveness issue in the country has to do with structural issues and price issues and not the size of salaries in the private sector, which as we all know are quite low."

[02] IMF proposals in line with EU recommendations, FinMin says

Speaking to reporters, the Greek minister emphasised: "It's wrong to think that the IMF is coming here to impose harsher or different conditions than the ones we are negotiating with our European partners".

Papaconstantinou said he would not judge the IMF's course in general, but its recommendations for Greece, which are not much different from the stance of the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

He also stressed that the government will announce a package of specific measures and policies soon after completion of talks with IMF officials.

[03] Economy minister meets IMF team

Katseli gave them a presentation of ministry activities lasting roughly an hour and a half, presenting actions for the overhaul of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) actions, the overhaul of the developmental law, as well as legislation designed to reduce red tape and to combat cartels and oligopolies in the Greek market. She also outlined measures seeking to provide relief to homes and businesses in excessive debt.

The IMF team were positive about the ministry programme, while there will be a second joint meeting on Tuesday with all ministries and a mixed team for coordinated actions and speeding up reforms.

[04] ND leader holds talks with EU-IMF-ECB auditors

It was revealed afterwards that the party's positions on handling the crisis were presented and analysed. Special emphasis was placed by ND on the need to avoid a further recession in the economy that would lead to a vicious circle due to the decrease in GDP.

ND also insisted on proposals for measures to boost economic activity with emphasis on employment and the defending of jobs, as well as on the need for safeguarding social cohesion in a European country such as Greece, not only for reasons of balance and justice but for reasons of strengthening active demand as well.

[05] Gov't on ND criticism; SYRIZA referendum demand

"ND cannot set red lines that it has already crossed," Petalotis said, pointing out that "the ND government brought the Greek people before a tragic situation."

Referring to recent statements by Samaras, Petalotis said the "unballasted" policy followed by ND when it was in office and the corruption practices it imposed have made it unfit to give lessons on politics and sound ideology to the government.

"Offering an apology for the ND governance under PM Karamanlis does not mean that ND is done with its share of responsibility," he said.

Commenting on the support mechanism referendum proposal presented by Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) Parliamentary group president Alexis Tsipras, Petalotis stressed that the "government is legitimately managing the public issues under emergency conditions."

[06] LA.OS' Karatzaferis: IMF option an 'emergency solution'

"The IMF is not the best possible solution but an emergency solution" while he expressed concern over what he called a "lack of national understanding on how to deal with the consequences of the IMF."

Earlier, Karatzaferis met with former foreign minister of Cyprus Giorgos Lillikas.

[07] Health minister holds meeting with IMF representatives

Xenoyiannakopoulou informed them of her priorities and of her targets on transparency.

Health ministry sources mentioned after the meeting, when no official statement was made, that the minister explained to them that there shall be no discount in the social state, since Greece has particularities such as the islands and tens of inaccessible regions in which the health system must be strengthened.

The same sources noted that the minister made a briefing on the appointment of two chartered accountants, who check the conditions under which the procurements of the state sector in the health sector are now taking place.

[08] Rehn spokesman on Greek support mechanism

Eurozone member-states have agreed to offer financial support to Greece, if necessary, to ensure financial stability throughout the euro-area, Amadeu Altafaj, a spokesman for EU Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, reiterated on Monday.

Speaking to reporters here, the EU spokesman said there were no deadlines over when the European Commission and the European Central Bank would present their recommendations over Athens' request to activate a support mechanism, while he noted that there was a common front - with no rift s- in the eurozone over to deal with the Greek crisis.

[09] Austria ready to help Greece without delay, officials says

Austria is ready to give Greece financial assistance without delay, Austrian government officials said here on Monday. Austrian Finance Minister Josef Proell said that Austria already possessed a legal basis for providing the support to Greece and his country was thus ready to act immediately.

According to Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger, Austria supported a rapid activation of Eurozone countries' aid to Greece, while stressing that all Eurozone countries should have an interest in keeping the euro stable.

Spindelegger said he expected a deal to be made and that "it won't be necessary for one country to undertake to help another through loans". The minister also stressed that the assistance, "which is obviously urgently needed, must also bring effective results and this will be possible if it is activated as soon as possible".

Proell, in comments on a letter he received from his Greek counterpart George Papaconstantinou requesting activation of the EU support mechanism, said that he had been expecting Greece's request for financial assistance.

"The important thing now is that the figures of the Greek budget are not cast into doubt," he stressed, adding that the experts of the European Central Bank, European Commission and the International Monetary Fund that were currently examining the specific form of the support to Greece must ensure that the terms for the financial assistance were observed.

"On condition that Greece observes all the terms for the execution of its budget, we are prepared to contribute to the stabilisation of the Eurozone," he said, while assuring Austrian tax-payers that the assistance would cost them nothing since it would be given in the form of a loan that would be paid back with interest.

[10] Italian FM urges Germany to 'overcome reservations' on Greek aid

Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini on Monday urged Germany to overcome its reservations on financial aid to Greece.

Speaking in Brussels after a meeting of the European People's Party (EPP) foreign ministers, Frattini voiced concern that the Greek problem will spread to other member countries, with a specific reference to Portugal, "which means that we must save our common European structure".

He expressed concern over Berlin's stance, adding that Athens, too, must act with credibility.

Paralelling the Greek and Italian economies, Frattini said that Italy had been able to approve a three-year budget that shielded and froze public expenditures, adding "why shouldn't Greece be able to do so as well?", and stressing that the principle of solidarity must prevail.

"From the moment that we all live in the common European structure, it is clear that we must have solidarity. Even if someone has reservations, solidarity must prevail. It is our interest, moral obligation, and need," he added.

[11] PES President comments on Greek debt crisis

The president of the Party of European Socialists (PES) Poul Nyrup Rasmussen has asked Germany and France "to stop a piecemeal approach to EU economic governance" because this was damaging Greece's chances of recovery and harming European jobs, according to an announcement issued by the PES.

Rasmussen apparently made the statement while addressing a high-level European Commission conference on the economic crisis, where he noted that it was time for European governments to understand the responsibilities and that the lead must be taken by France and Germany.

Referring to the Greek debt crisis, he said the European Union had the possibility through the existing EU Treaty to create a mechanism for "fair borrowing rates", without German taxpayers "having to pay a single Euro".

According the PES president, the current obsession with cutting back public spending was 'too restrictive' and could result in the loss of 4.5 million jobs by 2014.

[12] PM briefed on merger, abolition of dozens of state agencies, entities

A relevant draft law is ready, according to reports, which initially provides for the abolition or merger of 70 -75 entities, most of which have operational expenses directly or indirectly burdening the state's deficit-plagued budget.

As regards employees of the organisations in question, they will most likely be transferred to other posts, while those with contract worker status will be treated in accordance with existing legislation, government sources said.

[13] Greek DM at EDA, EU joint DM-FM meetings

The progress in the European Defence Agency (EDA) programs with NATO was discussed Monday in Brussels at a meeting of the EDA Steering Committee, with national defence minister Evangelos Venizelos representing Greece.

Venizelos and alternate foreign minister Dimitris Droutsas are also attending a joint meeting of the EU foreign and defence ministers.

Addressing the Steering Committee, Venizelos referred to the FRONTEX activities and the importance of respect of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, as well as the need for establishing an integrated EU maritime policy that would take into consideration the Common Security and Defence policy as well as the EU's other marine policies.

Discussions at the joint ministerial meeting, which was also attended by NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen, focused on Afghanistan, while Venizelos also discussed matters of mutual interest with several of his counterparts on the sidelines of the meeting.

During a working dinner of the defence ministers on Sunday night, chaired by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and EDA Steering Committee chairwoman Lady Ashton, discussions centered on the Lisbon Treaty and the EU's major military missions, such as the ATALANTA operation in Somalia and the ALTHEA mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in which Greece will continue to participate in accordance with relevant decisions by the Government Council on Foreign Affairs and Defence (KYSEA).

[14] KKE's Papariga announces nationwide mobilization

Papariga said that the mobilization will culminate on May 15 with a major protest demonstration and underlined that the time has come for "the appearance of a distinct socio-popular front."

The KKE general secretary announced that she rejected a proposal by the ECB, the IMF and the EU for a meeting "because we have nothing to talk about."

Referring to the scenarios on the formation of a national unity or national salvation government, Papariga said that they are targeting the popular consent and rejected the calls for a referendum saying that it is too late considering that the economic support mechanism is progress.

Papariga expressed opposition to early general elections and said that the people's resentment can be expressed in the local authority elections.

Financial News

[15] Gov't presents new development policy

Presenting the new policy, during a businessmen meeting, the minister stressed that small- and medium-sized enterprises will enjoy all subsidy programs, while larger enterprises, or large investment plans (worth more than 50 million euros) will enjoy tax breaks.

The strategic goal of the government's new development legislation was the creating a new business and productive model, to boost the country's competitiveness, to raise employment and to lead to a dynamic and sustainable economy based on green development.

Katseli said priority will be given to investments contributing to the strengthening of the country's competitiveness, through the transformation of the economy's productive, know-how and technological forces, creating domestic added value, improving the balance of payments and promoting green business activity and employment.

A new development law will offer financial support of 15 pct, 20 pct, 30 pct and 40 pct, according to a new support zone map, while these support levels could be raised by up to 10 pct for medium-sized enterprises and 20 pct for smaller enterprises.

The law will also promote transparency and a new evaluation procedure.

Katseli said that a total of 13,486 applications have been submitted so far, with 7,100 investment plans included in the development law, with budgets of 14 billion euros and 5.8 billion euros, respectively. The investment plans envisage creation of 32,707 new job positions. However, only 1,451 investment plans have been completed -20.4 pct of total- with a budget of 2.1 billion euros. She said handouts for new investment plans totaled 440 million euros in the January-April period.

[16] Gov't will fight for 13th, 14th salaries, Petalotis says

Petalotis seemed confident, however, that Greece's arguments would convince its partners on this score.

"We have very strong arguments that are related both to protecting the income of ordinary Greek citizens but also the revenues of the state and social insurance funds, since cutting these two salaries would mean harsh living standards for citizens and a very great loss of about two billion euros for social insurance funds," he pointed out.

The spokesman also stressed that, to the extent that this was possible, the government will not abandon its social policy and that its main concern will be to protect weaker social groups.

"At the point we are now, the only choice we have is to save the country and all the actions of the prime minister and the government tend to convergence on this," he added.

Commenting on proposals made by former minister Alekos Papadopoulos for tougher decisions, Petalotis said the government had a plan that it would carry out in order to bring the country out of the crisis, even though it was now being forced to act in conditions of a state of emergency.

Petalotis stressed that the government wanted to ensure that all sides were fully briefed on the decision to resort to the rescue package and was not afraid to hear different viewpoints, including Parliament and ruling PASOK's Parliamentary group, which will be convened by the prime minister on Tuesday for this purpose.

"We are going to have a tough time, we are having a tough time in any case, but we will finally get the state that Greeks deserve," the spokesman stressed in relation to the crisis.

[17] Greek tourism outlook flat this year, report

Domestic tourism was also expected to fall this year, since the cost of living has risen significantly and wages were cut as part of a government austerity program. Greek consumers were expected to cut their holiday costs and to resort to last minute reservations hoping to achieve better prices. ITEP said the government should offer significant support to the tourism sector to help in minimizing its losses.

[18] Energy issues discussed by Greek and Cypriot officials

Their talks focused on issues of mutual interest in the sector of energy.

[19] Intracom signs 4.7-mln-US dollar projects in Middle East

[20] Union heads warns of more strikes

The trade union's executive committee will convene on Tuesday, Panagopoulos said, adding that he will recommend the staging of industrial actions in the immediate future.

Social security and labour rights' issues are non negotiable, he said, particularly those referring to collective bargaining agreements and the role of the mediation and arbitration organisation, which was established to settle employee-employer disputes.

[21] Strike at Piraeus port as seamen protest planned cabotage lifting

A repeat strike will be staged on Friday, April 30.

Greek seamen are protesting the imminent lifting of cabotage (regulations restricting coastal shipping to domestic vessels) announced by prime minister George Papandreou, which will allow foreign cruiseships to use the Greek sea routes and ports.

Monday's strike means that 20 ships will not carry out scheduled routes to the islands of the Aegean, Crete and the Dodecanese Islands complex, while strikers will gather at the port of Piraeus for the arrival of the Malta-flag cruiseship 'Zenith'.

[22] Cruise ship ZENITH remains in port of Piraeus due to strike

The sailing of the cruise ship was prevented by about 400 strikers who had gathered and the 970 passengers, Spanish citizens, who were to board the ship which was to sail on a 7-day cruise were taken to a hotel through the intervention of the shipowning company and will board the cruise ship at 6 on Tuesday morning when the strike ends.

The ZENITH has been cruising in the Mediterranean for about a month, with the port of Piraeus as the starting point.

[23] Public transport work stoppage on Tuesday

The only public transportation to be running normally will be the Proastiakos suburban railway.

Commuters should be aware that the public transport means will start withdrawing from service at least one hour before the stoppage kicks in on Tuesday morning, while full restoration of service should be expected one hour after the end of the stoppage.

[24] Culture ministry employees' union calls off strike

The statement underlined that "the circumstances formed are highly unfavorable for workers and call for concrete and united action."

[25] Greek-Turkish business forum in Edirne in June

General News

[31] Car sought in terrorism investigation found burned

The blue 'Renault' car, according to police sources, had been used by suspected Revolutionary Struggle' terrorist group member Nikos Maziotis, who was arrested in the April 11 dawn operation by counter-terrorism police along with five other suspects.

All six have been jailed pending trial.

Police believe the car was abandoned 1-2 days before the swoop operation.

The car was spotted at 5:20 a.m. Sunday when unidentified individuals attempted to burn in, possibly to get rid of evidence, police said, adding that the fire was put out by passersby and the Fire Department, which was alerted, but the blaze had already caused extensive damage to the vehicle's interior.

The car had been stolen on August 31, 2007 in Thessaloniki, and bore stolen licence plates with the number IZY-4236.

The burned car was taken by the Counter-Terrorism squad to the police crime lab.

Police found and confiscated from the interior of the car a sledgehammer, a plastic bottle containing a yellow flammable liquid, the remains of six rolls of insulating tape of different colors, a pair of scissors, 9mm Luger CBC cartridge, a plastic can also containing a yellow flammable liquid, and a motorcycle licence plate with the number IPH-819 which (licence plate) had bee reported stolen from Galatsi on July 15, 2009.
