[01] Appeals Council says Golden Dawn MP Mihos should be placed under
house arrest
ANA/MPA---The Appeals Council that convened on Tuesday decided to adopt
prosecutor Isidoros Doyiakos' opinion that Golden Dawn MP Nikos Mihos
should be placed under house arrest after a disagreement raised between
the prosecutor and the examining magistrates responsible for the Golden
Dawn case on whether Mihos should be detained or not.
The Appeals Council fully adopted Doyiakos' opinion saying that Mihos
should be placed under house arrest and restriction on leaving the
country.
The examining magistrates Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou said
that Mihos should be sent to jail after his supplementary testimony
last Tuesday on charges related to illegal weapon possession in order
to supply a criminal organisation.
[02] 'I am proud that Greece is still a eurozone member,' Juncker says
ANA/MPA---Jean-Claude Juncker, candidate for the presidency of the
European Commission, on Tuesday said he was proud that Greece was still
a eurozone member state.
Speaking at the European Parliament plenary, Juncker referred to the
"Cassandras" and speculators who had bet on the breakup of the eurozone,
after the outbreak of the debt crisis in Europe.
"We managed to repair a flying plane that was burning," Juncker said
underlining the successful way of dealing with the crisis.
Everybody, he said, was certain about Greece's exit from the euro and
the eurozone. We did everything we could and "I am personally proud that
Greece, this great nation, this wonderful people, is still a member of
the eurozone," he concluded.

Treasury bill issue raising 1.625 billion euros from the market at a
