  • [01] Gov't on possible Frontex-Turkey agreement

    (ANA-MPA) -- The Greek government declared on Thursday that any agreement between the EU border agency Frontex and Turkey will not be accepted unless it is clearly stated that Greek borders are also EU borders.

    Responding to a tabled question in Parliament by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) over a draft agreement between Frontex and Turkey which, according to KKE, disputes Greece's sovereign rights, Deputy Citizen Protection Minister Spyros Vougias stressed that the text of the agreement has not been finalised and that it will be presented in Parliament once it is finalised.

    Vougias added that the foreign ministry and his ministry share similar concerns, noting that Minister Mihalis Chryssohoidis has underlined in letters addressed to his Turkish counterpart that an agreement between Frontex and Turkey should clearly state that Greece's borders are EU external borders, in order to be accepted.

    The company said cash flows from operating activities - including the effect of net capital spending - jumped to 546 million euros in 2009, up 284 million euros from 2008. The volume of sales fell 2.0 pct to 2.069 billion boxes, with net revenue from sales down 6.0 pct to 6.544 billion euros.
