    The ruling New Democracy party's self-administration secretariat organised a conference on "Self-administration and regional development" at the "Ioannis Vellidis" convention centre in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.

    Addressing the conference, Deputy Finance Minister Adam Rengouzas spoke of a year of bold decisions with clear targets, such as encouraging and backing enterprise and developing and increasing employment, while Deputy Agricultural Development Minister Alexandros Kontos outlined government policy in the agricultural sector.

    Deputy Development Minister George Salangoudis referred to the imperative need to equate the salaries and incomes of the Greeks with those of other European citizens and stressed that the government's target is regional development.

    Thessaloniki Mayor Vassilis Papageorgopoulos said on his part "we must go ahead at last with a European way of organising major cities so that Athens and Thessaloniki can be 'governed' in the same way that the major cities of Europe are governed."
