  • [01] FinMin: Only long-term Eurozone solution will calm jittery markets

    FRANKFURT (ANA-MPA) -- Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou was quoted here on Friday as stating that even if Ireland decides to accept assistance from Eurozone countries, it would not be enough to calm jittery markets, which are awaiting the creation of a permanent mechanism to tackle EU crises, according to a report by AFP.

    Papaconstantinou said markets remained tense because they have not been persuaded that long-term solutions are on the horizon.

    [02] Ruling on memorandum legality

    (ANA-MPA) -- A Council of State (CoS) plenum will convene on Tuesday to hear civil suits brought by trade unions against wage cuts and austerity measures imposed this year by the government.

    The civil suits challenge the memorandum, signed with the EU-ECB-IMF "troika", as being unconstitutional, illegal and in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights. (ANA-MPA)

    The two CoS legal rapporteurs assigned to study the civil lawsuits are expected to recommend their rejection on the grounds that the memorandum (Law No. 3845/2010) is constitutional and in compliance (ANA-MPA) with European and international legislation.
