Ho visto che hai già introdotto la Svizzera nell'argomento, l'avevo accennata nella mia risposta precedente ma solo adesso, in ultima pagina, la leggo. Usala solo come una sorta di riferimento possibile ma non come esempio... ci sarebbero tante cose che non è il caso di imitare. Diciamo che a livello di convivenza di usi e costumi diversi è un fatto storico ma che la sua efficacia sia dovuta a questo... non direi.

Dato che siamo in clima estivo, possiamo allargarci un poco (dato che siamo in pochi...)
La formazione dello stato elvetico non ha nulla di diverso rispetto ad altre nazioni europee. Probabilmente è quella che successivamente ha assimilato meglio la lezione della Rivoluzione Francese ...
Conosco qualcosa della storia dei Cantoni di lingua italiana il cui vantaggio principale, rispetto agli altri stati italiani, risiede in quello di non aver subito l'occupazione spagnola per quasi 200 anni (specie l'ultima decadente fase).
Citavo la Svizzera come esempio di convivenza pacifica tra culture diverse e di una valida impalcatura legislativa a cui fare riferimento.
Spiace solo che nella costruzione europea la Svizzera sia rimasta da parte, sotto la tutela e gli interessi di una ristretta nomenclatura politico-affaristica. Il suo apporto sarebbe importantissimo.
Magari qualche forumista che ci legge dal Canton Ticino può dare un contributo di idee.

Greek Fuel Shortages Ease, Truckers To Decide Strike Plans



By Alkman Granitsas
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

ATHENS -(Dow Jones)- Fuel shortages stemming from a Greek trucking strike appeared to ease Sunday after some truckers began to comply with a government work order and the military joined efforts to resupply hospitals, power plants and airports around the country.
At the same time, striking truckers and the government appeared to inch toward a compromise that could end the strike while also lifting government-ordered civil mobilization of the sector.
"The civil mobilization was invoked to solve a problem," Haris Tsiokas, general secretary of Greece's Transport Ministry, told local media. "If there is no more problem, there is no need for civil mobilization."
At 0900 GMT Sunday, the truckers union is set to decide on its plans and whether to continue the strike.
The strike, which began late July 25, has led to severe fuel shortages around the country, brought misery to thousands of holiday travelers and businesses, and further dented Greece's image in the midst of its all-important summer tourist season.
The government responded by invoking its powers under the constitution to force the truckers back to work and, late Friday, mobilized the army and navy to distrbute fuel supplies after the union defied the earlier work order.
But by Saturday, some 200 private fuel truck drivers--fearing severe criminal penalties that could include fines and the revocation of their license--broke ranks with the union and returned to work, distributing fuel supplies under police escort.
State-owned NET television reported that by late Saturday, more than 250 filling stations around the greater Athens area, had been resupplied.
At issue is a plan by the Greek government to open up and modernize the country's trucking sector. Liberalizing Greece's tightly regulated sectors, such as trucking, is one of the overhauls the socialist government has promised the European Union and the International Monetary Fund in exchange for a EUR110 billion loan that it had secured in early May.
Specifically, the changes to the trucking sector would involve issuing new truck licenses to spur competition, but which would also severely undercut the value of existing licenses in circulation.
While the truckers strike has proved to be particularly disruptive, many analysts fear the strike foreshadows similar protests from other cosseted professional groups working in Greece's so-called closed professions. These include pharmacists, lawyers and engineers among others.

GLI AUTOTRASPORTATORI TORNANO AL LAVORO

Di nuovo in strada. Il sindacato degli autotrasportatori greci ha deciso di porre fine allo sciopero iniziato lo scorso 25 luglio.
L’astensione dal lavoro era stata decisa dopo che il governo di Atene aveva annunciato la liberalizzazione del settore. Trentamila i camionisti che hanno aderito alla protesta.
“Per me – dice uno di loro – la scorsa settimana è stata una perdita di tempo. Di base non è successo nulla. E ora l’unica cosa che resta da vedere è come il governo agirà riguardo le nostre pensioni. Nient’altro”.
La decisione di riprendere il lavoro è arrivata anche dopo che Atene ha minacciato multe, il ritiro delle licenze e il ricorso ad azioni legali. Gli autotrasportatori ora minacciano un nuovo sciopero se l’esecutivo non accoglierà, almeno in parte, le loro richieste.
La protesta ha messo in ginocchio il Paese, soprattutto per l’approvigionamento di beni di prima necessità e di idrocarburi. Il governo greco aveva anche fatto scendere in campo l’esercito per rifornire gli ospedali, gli aeroporti e gli impianti energetici.
Pesanti le ripercussioni dell’agitazione anche sui turisti, rimasti bloccati negli alberghi.

Il 15 luglio scorso Piraeus Bank ha offerto 701 milioni di euro per rilevare le quote pubbliche di Hellenic Postbank e ATEbank.

ECB Looks Into Ways To Deal With Greek Paper It Has Accumulated



The European Central Bank is looking for ways to deal with the Greek and other peripheral sovereign paper it has accumulated in the last months.

The Frankfurt based bank has directly purchased more than EUR40 bil. of government bonds, while it also holds EUR110 billion of sovereign and bank paper as collateral for liquidity.

Bank sources say that the ECB intends to accumulate more than EUR200 bil. of Greek paper in the coming period.

The size of the debt accumulated concerns EU officials and they are reviewing a set of measures to deal with a “second wave” of debt crisis.
In this context:

* The Germans are preparing all the technical details on a possible “orderly insolvency.”

* The Brugel Think Tank in Brussels has put forward a comprehensive proposal for a Eurobond issue (Blu Bond) but will only cover the part of government debt that reaches the 60% of GDP, as foreseen in the Stability Pact.
