[01] PM: Resurgence in investor interest

Papandreou stressed that this interest had been expressed mainly after the rescue package for Greece was approved, showing that this had created a sense of security and stability for investors, who considered Greece protected by the support of the European loan mechanism.

Regarding ways to revive growth, the prime minister stressed that developmental legislation was not a panacea but only part of an overall effort that must strive to create a viable and competitive model for growth.

He stressed that Greece must take advantage of the present opportunity in two ways: firstly by facilitating enterprise and abolishing all bureaucratic obstacles, such as those required in order to found or operate a business; and secondly, by creating conditions that will help the country, inviting the kind of investment that will give another type of developmental prospect and another growth model.

The prime minister repeated that social justice was among the priorities of the government, which would take all possible action to support the weaker sections of society. He stressed that the PASOK government was part of the solution and not part of the problem that offended the electorate's sense of justice, though it still had to prove this.

The Greek people can daily see that there is justice and that this takes tangible form in anything related to cases of corruption, he added.
