[01] NSRF to be unveiled WednesdayThe Inner Cabinet convened on Tuesday, chaired by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, to review matters falling under the competence of the Economy and Finance Ministry.After the meeting, Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis told reporters that he briefed the Inner Cabinet on progress in the materialisation of the Third Community Support Framework (CSF), which covers up until the end of the current year, and on planning for the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) covering the period 2007-2013. Alogoskoufis called the NSRF a "major developmental opportunity" for the country, noting that the related Operational Programmes have already been approved by the European Union. Materialisation of the programme will commence by the end of February, following the decisions of the recent inter-ministerial committee and Tuesday's Inner Cabinet, the minister explained. Alogoskoufis announced that the integrated NSRF programme would be unveiled on Wednesday in Nafplio, adding that it was a programme that concerned the Greek periphery, new technologies, training and orientation, and infrastructures, and consequently it was fitting that it should be presented first in the Greek periphery. Earlier, Karamanlis chaired a meeting of the Government Council on Foreign Affairs and Defence (KYSEA), which appointed up-to-now naval training commander Vice-Admiral George Karamalikis as the new Chief of the Navy General Staff (GEN), to replace outgoing chief Dimitris Gousis.

"We are introducing regulations for the planting and protection of greenery," Kaklamanis said. According to the former health minister, documented figures show that the rate of public green space per capita in the city of Athens is 6.84 square metres. He also provided details on each city district, seven in all, and stressed that the target is 7.25 square metres per capita, in line with the international average, for the entire municipality and each district separately.
