Grecia: continua lotta contro grande incendio a nord di Atene
ATENE - Ingenti forze dei vigili del fuoco continuano a lottare questa sera contro il violento incendio a Nord di Atene che nel pomeriggio ha raggiunto la periferia di Mikrochori e Barnabas nella regione di Maratona.
Oltre 100 vigili del fuoco con l'ausilio di decine di volontari, 30 autopompe e otto aerei stanno cercando di porre sotto controllo prima del calare del sole le fiamme alimentate da forti venti e il cui fumo e ceneri sono arrivati anche alla periferia di Atene. Alcuni villaggi e un monastero nella zona dove infuriano le fiamme sono stati evacuati.
Un altro incendio, una sessantina di km a sudest della capitale, nella zona di Lavrio, a meta' strada fra Atene e Capo Sounio, è stato parzialmente domato a fine pomeriggio, cosi' come quello sull'isola di Evia. La polizia non esclude che le fiamme possano avere avuto origine dolosa.
Oggi in tutta la Grecia sono stati segnalati una cinquantina di incendi di cui sette nella regione dell'Attica di cui capoluogo e' Atene. Lo scorso anno la capitale fu assediata per giorni in agosto da una serie di incendi mentre la regione intorno a Maratona subi' gravi danni e la stessa citta' apparve minacciata. Nel 2007 feroci incendi fecero gravi danni e provocarono al morte di una settantina di persone.

Kouvelis travels to Libya for talks on energy
Deputy Foreign Minister Spyros Kouvelis will visit Libya on Monday, accompanied by a delegation of Greek businessmen, as part of a three-day trip for discussions with local officials regarding ways of boosting bilateral trade relations. Talks with the Libyans will concentrate on energy, waste disposal, water resources, technical projects, construction, ports and healthcare, among other areas, according to the Foreign Ministry. A study released earlier this week by the Greek Embassy in Libya said that Greece has failed to take full advantage of its export potential to the North African country despite Athens's support for Tripoli, the large number of Libyan students who study in Greece and Greece's positive image in the country.

Europe freezes out Goldman Sachs
Shocked by past deals with Italy and Greece, governments are excluding the Wall Street bank from sovereign bond sales
European governments are turning their backs on Goldman Sachs, the all-conquering investment bank that has suffered a series of blows to its reputation, capped by the biggest ever fine imposed on a Wall Street firm.
According to data from Dealogic, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have all denied the bank a lead role in their recent sovereign bond sales.
Last Thursday, Goldman agreed to pay a $550m fine to settle US regulators' claims that the bank misled investors in a mortgage-backed security. Goldman admitted that its marketing materials were incomplete, because they failed to state that the same third party that helped choose the assets had taken a bet against them.
But governments have also been shocked at the emergence of past transactions between Goldman and Greece and Italy, where products the bank helped to sell aided both in hiding government debt. Greece, which used Goldman in a bond sale this year, is practically at war with the bank. A sharp contrast with the situation months before, when Goldman bankers dined with the prime minister in a private meeting overlooking the Acropolis. The relationship broke down, though, after news leaked earlier this year that Goldman was about to strike a bond sale deal with China's sovereign fund – which never materialised.
Spain, which used Goldman among its top 10 bookrunners last year, has not done so in 2010, while Italy has not given the bank a leading role since 2007. France has not used Goldman in any lead position over the past three years, and it seems doubtful that it will do so in the near future. "French people would riot in the streets if we chose Goldman," said a person familiar with the French treasury.
The French government has said it will only use banks that cap management and traders' bonuses. This year, Goldman limited the pay and bonus compensation to its London partners at £1m, though other bankers and traders can receive much more, provided they are not partners. Goldman has also been criticised of for taking short positions, or betting on a price fall, against some European sovereign bonds – after taking part in a bond sale, a person involved in sovereign debt sales said. The bank says it has presence in the European sovereign bank market and that it has recently participated in deals in Britain, Portugal and Belgium.
Countries such as Spain and France have also shied away from Goldman because their traditionally conservative treasury departments prefer to steer clear of risky investments. The French treasury, for instance, only issues debt in euros, staying away, like Spain, from the complex foreign exchange or swap deals that brought trouble to Greece and Italy. "The Spanish treasury can't justify in parliament why, if things go wrong, they have a multimillion-euro position in Indian rupees, for example," a sovereign bond banker said.
Governments also stick to plain-vanilla deals, with little complexity, in order to keep their prized AAA rating, reducing their borrowing costs as much as possible, a source familiar with the French Tresor said.
IKB, the failed bank bailed out by the German government, recently considered suing Goldman because of its exposure to the structured products sold by the US bank. Following the settlement between Goldman and the SEC, the US securities regulator, last week, IKB said the German lender was "reviewing the settlement documents".
Germany has only made one syndicated bond sale in the last three years, in 2009, when it appointed Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC and BofA-Merrill Lynch as lead managers.

PM: Greece on normalised road
Greece is on a normalised road, prime minister George Papandreou opined in an interview with the UK newspaper Guardian, noting that in the nine months since his PASOK government took office "it has been crisis management, day in, day out", and stressing that, in politics "you have to make tough decisions".
In the interview, titled "Reinvigorating Greece is an Olympian task for prime minister Papandreou", the premier noted: "We knew that we had high debt and a high deficit with high inequality, high unemployment and negative growth … but we had no idea about the depth and breadth of the problems or the lack of good, transparent, democratic governance. When we found the deficit as high as it was [13.6% of GDP], we wanted to be absolutely transparent."
On the reactions to the austerity measures and major overhaul of the pension system, Papandreou admits that "naturally I feel very bad that we had to take these measures and that our financial sovereignty is under the tutelage of the so-called troika (the EU, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank".
"It's not a happy state to be in, and the most painful thing is to take measures against people who were not responsible for the crisis," Papandreou said.
"But you have to make tough decisions in politics," he continued, adding: "You can theorise about the options you have but in reality they are very specific. The option was: "Do we default or do we take these measures? Do we lose our pension system or do we save what we can? … it was a question of existence, of being able to pay civil servants their wages or losing that possibility."
Papandreou described as "a small revolution" the reforms his government has pushed through, adding that his hope is to "turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world, with everything on the web".
Noting that re-election is not his aim, Papandreou said he is determined to change Greece "and mindsets" for the better through his modernising policies, regardless of the political cost.
"I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me. As long as I feel I am doing what I think is right and just for my country, for the Greek people, that is enough for me," he said
"Saving Greece from this crisis was the first thing on the agenda. We are now on a much more normalised road," Papandreou added.
