[02] Greece-Strike-Unions
07/12/2000 21:47:12
The General Confederation of Workers of Greece (GSEE), called its
Thursday strike a success, saying that air, rail and road transport
ground to a halt as public servants and private sector workers
protested against planned labour reforms being discussed in
parliament.
The strike begun on after midnight Wednesday and its public sector
sister ADEDY joined in Thursday morning to protest changes in labour
relations introduced in the bill drafted by Labour Minister Tassos
Yiannitsis.
ADEDYs action amounted to a work stoppage that begun at 11 am to the
end of the work day.
The unions also organised a rally in central Athens that was followed
by a march to the Parliament building, where a delegation handed their
demands to Parliament President Apostolos Kaklamanis.

Development Minister Nikos Christodoulakis said on Thursday the course
of the Greek economy will not be stopped despite the relatively
unfavourable international conjuncture, adding that this is so because
development in Greece was supported and will continue to be supported
by indigenous factors, whose reserves have not yet been fully
developed.
Christodoulakis, who was addressing a dinner organised by the
Federation of Retail Sales Eterprises of Greece (SELPE), said trade
occupies a considerable part of economic activity in the European
Union, representing 30 percent of enterprises, 16 percent of employment
and over 13 percent of its GDP. In the middle of the '90s, about five
million enterprises produced 640 billion ecu and provided 21.5 million
jobs in the sector.
[04] Greece-EU-European Conference
07/12/2000 20:44:11
NICE (ANA S. Sideris) Greece supports the speedy accession to the
European Union of those candidate member-states that have assimilated
the principles and rules of the Union, Greek Foreign Minister George
Papandreou said on Friday.
Papandreous statements came after the meeting of the European
Conference of the Union member-states and the 13 candidate
member-states leaderships, where Germany and Italy proposed that an new
European Conference begin at 2004.
Papandreou noted that this proposal raised concern among the leaders of
the 13 candidate member-states, since it could mean the postponement of
their accession to the Union.
