[01] Voulgarakis, Stylianidis receive Bavarian Interior Minister
Beckstein
Public Order Minister George Voulgarakis and Deputy Foreign Minister
Evripidis Stylianidis on Wednesday received the visiting Minister of
Interior of the State of Bavaria G?nther Beckstein, with trade and
security issues dominating the agenda of talks.
Following his meeting with Bavarian minister, Stylianidis stressed the
traditionally good relations between Greece and the Bavarian state,
while noting that trade has slacked off in recent years, primarily
because of developments in the Balkans. He added that the emphasis was
to rekindle vigorous trade and industrial cooperation.
Other topics discussed included the prospects for European integration
and the draft EU constitution.
Earlier, during a meeting with Voulgarakis, Greece's experience with
security during last year's 2004 Olympic Games was discussed,
particularly in light of next year's World Cup in Germany.
During both meetings, Beckstein praised Athens for successfully and
security hosting the 2004 Olympics.
