[01] Independent Greeks' leader agrees with SYRIZA on PPC referendum

Kammenos agreed with Tsipras on the need for the country to hold a referendum on PPC privatization. "We agree with the demand of the majority of the Greek people to endorse a referendum for PPC's sell-off," he said.

He also told Tsipras that the "small PPC is the first step for the concession of energy resources, which must end now."

[02] National centre for administering pensions operational by year-end

Plakiotakis told Parliament the new centre would be staffed with employees from all pension funds, who will have immediate access to the social insurance background of each person insured even when a succession of social insurance funds is involved.

The system will not require the applicant to be physically present and the entire process will begin with an online application for main and supplementary pensions and lump sums.

Plakiotakis was responding to a current question by New Democracy deputy Kostas Markopoulos.
