[01] The government wants in principle agreement at Monday's Eurogroup, gov't spokesman says

He explained that the country's creditors and the IMF should understand that: a) they are bound by the EU law in labour issues, not only as to the result of the agreement, but also during the negotiations and b) the Greek government cannot accept measures after 2018.

"The Greek government is not discussing any measures after the end of the programme; there will not be such a discus-sion,"Tzanakopoulos said.

[02] Greek issue to dominate afternoon meeting of Eurogroup on Dec 5

According to the announcement of the EU Council, the finance ministers of the eurozone will be briefed by the institutions on the course of the second programme review, following the negotiations held in Athens in mid-November.

"Based on the progress achieved within the framework of the second programme review, the Eurogroup is expected to return to the issue of the measures related to the debt and the IMF participation in the Greek programme," according to the same announcement. It added that the main issues of the second programme review are Greece's budget for 2017, the medium-term strategy and the labour market reforms.

[03] PM Tsipras speaks on the phone with Chancellor Merkel

[06] Labour minister says MEPs pledged to help Greece restore collective bargaining

Labour Minister Efi Achtsioglou said on Thursday all European Parliament deputies who met with her during her two-day visit to Brussels support the Greek government's position to restore labour rights.

"We presented the positions of the Greek government for the need to restore collective bargaining in the country. All the members of the European Parliament with whom I met strongly support the position of the Greek government for the country's return to what constitutes the European acquis on labour rights," the minister told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA), adding she concluded a round of meetings in Brussels with important representatives of the European Parliament.

On their side, MEPs said Greece should not be excluded from the European social model simply because it is implementing an adjustment program and Europe should not allow such an exception, Achtsioglou said.

"The members of the European Parliament, who cover a wide range of political forces, said they will do everything in their power to exercise the necessary pressure on a political level to restore collective bargaining in the country," she added.

Concerning the Eurogroup meeting on Dec. 5, the minister predicted that there could be a political agreement "in principle" on all issues relating to the second program review, noting that talks on labour rights will be crucial at the meeting because it is a "deeply political issue" which cannot be resolved at the technical level.

[07] Gianni Pittella says EU acquis in labour issues should be applied in Greece

The EU acquis in labour issues should also be applied in Greece Socialists and Democrats leader in the European Parliament Gianni Pittella on Thursday said in statements to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency after his meeting with Greek Labour Minister Efi Achtsioglou in Brussels.

Gianni Pittella said his meeting with Achtsioglou was 'productive' and positive' and agreed that with the position that there shouldn't be a 'punishing' implementation of the memorandum for Greece.

"It must be ensured that Greece will not be the exception as far as it regards labour rights" said Pittella adding that the "collective labour contracts are a very important acquis which must also applied for Greece."

[08] Foreign ministry calls Turkish claims over Aegean islands 'provocative' and 'irresponsible'

"Greece's sovereignty over its islands in the Aegean, including Imia, is indisputable and enshrined in international law. Irresponsible statements to the contrary are provocative, as the legal status of the islands and islets of the Aegean is clear and has been explicitly determined by a number of international agreements of the previous century," the ministry said in a statement.

"Anyone who ignores international legal reality does not contribute to the consolidation of the rules of good neighbourly relations, but in fact undermines them," it added.

[09] Pavlopoulos: Our duty to defend the Lausanne Treaty

Pavlopoulos reiterated that Greece does not claim anything that doesn't belong to the country but "we're not willing to concede one iota of what is, without a doubt, our national and European heritage."

"On this principle, it is our duty to defend the unswerving implementation ... of the great legacy left by Eleftherios Vanizelos, the Lausanne Treaty," he said, noting that the treaty represents European as well as Greek borders.

[10] Transition to viable, just growth is a historic imperative, says gov't VP

"This demands a new, socially responsible entrepreneurship. We cannot, in the name of entrepreneurship, conceal these forms of entrepreneurship that want to enrich themselves parasitically through their relations with political powers, as was the case in the past," he said.

"I'm glad to hear businesspeople, more and more lately, criticizing these phenomena themselves. Indeed, some business and market people are mentioning a need for patriotism of investments. They actually refer to the need - I'd say - for a new, socially responsible entrepreneurship, which invests its profits in research, creates jobs, feels responsible not only towards shareholders but also towards society and cares for its employees, their safety and training," he said.

"This is the entrepreneurship that will get us out of the crisis," he added.

[11] Bill on equal treatment in workplace approved, seperate vote on four articles on Fri.

A separate provision calls for the creation of a national mechanism to investigate incidents of discrimination by law enforcement agencies and officials in detention centers.

The bill also includes secondary legislation protecting the euro and other currencies from counterfeiting and forgery.

[12] Two opposition parties request roll-call vote in heated parliamentary debate over equality bill

The Democratic Coalition, Potami and independent lawmakers said lawmakers should vote on articles 2, 3 and 4 of the bill by name in a debate expected to conclude later tonight. The bill incorporates EU legislation into national law which bans discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin and sexual orientation in the workplace.

The legislation is backed in principle by SYRIZA, New Democracy, the Democratic Coalition, Potami, ANEL (Independent Greeks) and the Centrists' Union. The Communist Party votes "present" and Golden Dawn said it will vote against it.

However, the Independent Greeks announced through their rapporteur, MP Konstantinos Katsikis, they will not approve articles of the bill which, in his view, equate civil partnerships with marriage.

"Can a gay be a baby sitter, or a transsexual a teacher?" he asked attracting intense criticism by the Democratic Coalition representative and DIMAR leader Thanasis Theocharopoulos who slammed Katsikis' "homophobic rant". Theocharopoulos described ANEL's position as "third-world" and wondered if the Independent Greeks will request that citizens present a "sex certificate" to find a job.

He also criticized SYRIZA for tolerating such talk from their coalition partner, accusing Justice Minister Stavros Kontonis of keeping mum during Katsikis' speech.

On the contrary, the rapporteurs of the Democratic Coalition, Potami and the Centrists' Union asked the government to extend the rights of LGBTQI people beyond the workplace - in education, healthcare, asylum requests, access to public services and housing - with Potami's MP Giorgos Amiras saying the party backs recognition of gay marriage.

SYRIZA MP Christos Karayiannidis said "people are not selected for baby sitters or couriers based on their sexual identity". Responding to homophobic comments by Golden Dawn MPs, Karayiannidis said those who believe that those who don't fit in their own model of "normalcy" are "perverts" are racists guided by hatred. "Normalcy is not the heterosexuals. Normalcy is all humans," he said.

[13] Communist Party claims HQ's call center is tapped, asks government to find perpetrators

According to the party's press release, it was observed that various recent telephone conversations were bugged, among which calls to and from the headquarters of SYRIZA, New Democracy and Potami.

"These listen-ins are caused by an unknown third 'center'," the party said in the press release. "The Communist Party denounces this fact. The government must immediately investigate this issue in depth, uncover the perpetrators and ensure, as required by every government, the privacy of telephone conversations."

The Communist Party also said it informed Parliament President Nikos Voutsis and the relevant minister, Nikos Pappas, on the matter, as well as the heads of the other parties involved.

[14] Government will investigate 'extremely serious' claims on wiretaps, says gov't spox

"The Communist Party's claims of wiretapping of the call centers of the party, SYRIZA, Potami and New Democracy are extremely serious. The government will exhaust any operational, institutional and legal means to investigate them," Tzanakopoulos said.

"We have already given the relevant orders to the competent authorities in order to shed light on the case."

[15] ND calls for investigation into Communist Party's wiretapping claim

"The Communist Party's complaint is very serious. It's unthinkable nowadays to intercept the phones and communications of any political party or any citizen," ND said in a statement. "It's imperative to have a full investigation into this issue. At any case, the government is obliged to provide immediate and convincing answers," it added.

Financial News

[16] Greek PMI fell to one-year low in November

Markit, in a monthly report, said that Greek manufacturers cut their purchasing activity amid intensified cost pressures which led to further declines in inflow inventories. On the other hand, manufacturers continued hiring new personnel, although fractionally, despite a new deterioration of pending works levels.

The November data showed a decline in manufacturing production in Greece for the third successive month. The latest decline was the strongest recorded since July, while companies linked a decline in production with weaker demand for Greek goods. The decline in production was the result of intense shrinking of new work levels in November. New orders fell in he month, with new export orders falling at the strongest rate in 12 months, while pending works fell further, extending a trend which began in July 2008.

Employment levels were almost unchanged in November, with new job creation rate falling at the slowest rate in six months. Average cost burden grew further in November, at the highest rate in 16 months. Inflows fell for the seventh successive month while inventories fell at the strongest rate in nine months. Finally, average delivery times extended in November, at the highest rate ever recorded.

Samuel Agass, IHS Markit's economist, commenting on the survey said: "Intensified economic difficulties negatively affected the goods production sector's health in November, was the PMI fell to its lowest level in one year. Worrying is the fact that weaker demand for Greek goods continues suspending the sector's growth, while efforts to reduce sale price have no result".

[17] The role of sustainable development in tourism

"The growing interest of tourist facilities in certified sustainable hotels is extremely encouraging," Andreadis noted and cited a recent survey by Booking.com, according to which 52 pct of respondents said that travelers would be influenced by the environmental and social policy of a hotel.

With environmental issues at the top of the agenda of entrepreneurship, the integration of sustainability in the Greek tourism industry is one way, he said adding that 2017 has been declared sustainable tourism year.

The year 2017 will give us the chance to implement our strategy. Based on the International Year of Sustainable Tourism Development of the United Nations and the World Tourism Organization, we will begin a series of actions towards sustainability. It is important for the next day of Greek tourism to plan a strategy that highlights the competitive advantages of our country. In this way we will achieve the better interconnection of tourism with the rest of the Greek economy. This is a way to lead the country to the much-needed development," Andreadis underlined.

[26] Explosion in central Athens; one dead, five injured

The injured are being hospitalised out of danger.

A team of 20 firemen and eight fire engines were sent to put out the blaze.

Police have cordonned off the area, while the explosion caused damage to nearby shops and houses as well as parked cars and motorcycles.

[27] Freon gas leak a likely cause in deadly explosion at fast-food chain, says fire department

According to the officials, the accident happened while the refrigerator technician was working at the basemen of the store where all the fridges are stored. They also said the store didn't use natural gas or propane.

However a safe conclusion as to what caused the explosion will only be determined after the investigation is concluded, they added.

[28] Labour Inspectorate vowes to shed light in fatal gas explosion in central Athens

[29] Refugees protest outside two camps as they remain unprotected in Greek frost

Dozens of refugees from Oreokastro camp have been protesting since three this afternoon blocking both lanes of Simachiki Odos, saying living conditions have become very difficult since the weather worsened.

[30] World AIDS Day

AIDS virus, also called HIV virus or a virus of human immunodeficiency, infects the body and progressively destroys the immune system leaving it exposed to severe infections or various forms of cancers.

Despite the reduction in new diagnoses of HIV, the Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KEELPNO) does not settle.

"Signs of decline in the number of new diagnoses of HIV, especially among people injecting toxic substances, does not mean in any way being complacent about the epidemic of HIV infection in our country," the president of KEELPNO Theofilos Rosenberg said on the occasion of today's World AIDS Day.

In statements to www.praktoreio-ygeias.gr, he explained that in our country, after the great epidemic of HIV infection recorded in 2011-2013 among users injecting toxic substances, new diagnoses in this specific group of people has dropped.

[31] Reduction in the average age of people affected by oral cancer

Laskaris was speaking at a conference of the Public Health Institute of the American College of Greece on "Diseases of Oral Cavity: What you need to know."

As he explained "early diagnosis of oral cancer is the key to rapid successful treatment - prognosis - quality of life and survival of more than 90-95 pct."

According to scientists, cancer is the most dangerous of the 1,000 diseases that occur in the mouth. The key factors for the increase of oral cancer worldwide, including Greece, are smoking, alcohol, and possibly HPV viruses.

"Everyone should be aware and be able to recognize any changes made to his mouth and promptly seeking the opinion of a stomatologist," said Laskaris. The oral cancer is one of the 10 most common cancers in humans and 700 new cases are recorded every year in Greece.

Smoking, excessive alcohol use, damaged teeth or dentures that injure poor oral hygiene may be the reasons for the high incidence of mouth diseases.

Oral cancer occurs 6-8 times more often in smokers compared to people who never smoked. The increased rate is also related to the number of cigarettes and years someone smokes.

The main symptoms are: pain, bleeding, burning tongue, white or red colour, black spots, wound that does not close, difficulty in chewing and swallowing, swelling of the gums, swelling in the neck lymph nodes, stiffness, bad breath, dry mouth, etc.

For precaution scientists suggest good oral hygiene, avoidance or quitting of smoking, no excessive alcohol consumption, a visit to the dentist every six months, and stomatology advice when there are changes in the mouth.

Laskaris also stressed the importance of accurate and rapid diagnosis, which is a prerequisite for correct treatment and prognosis, protection of the patient from health adventures and unnecessary financial and emotional burden.

"The oral health is a valuable asset that we must and can preserve," said Laskaris and concluded: "This is because the mouth is the jewel of the human body, and relates to the most beautiful pleasures of life: the taste, the various expressions of love, love, speech and social presence."
