PM: Dilemma is forwards or backwards


(ANA-MPA) -- Prime Minister George Papandreou, speaking on the Ionian island of Corfu on Sunday evening, stressed that the "dilemma in the (upcoming) November elections is whether we lead the country forward or backwards".

The Greek prime minister said that he is aware that many are suffering, as well as the criticism against his government, stressing however, that "I prefer this criticism rather than letting Greece go bankrupt. The difficulties are nothing before the consequences of a bankruptcy, particularly for the weaker strata and the middle class ... I shall not let Greece collapse; it is my patriotic duty."

Papandreou also sharply criticised the opposition, saying that many from the right or left speak out against the memorandum, while merely counter-proposing a vote of exit from supervision, "because Greece is changing".

Opposition reaction to Juncker remark


(ANA-MPA) -- Main opposition New Democracy party leader Antonis Samaras charged on Saturday that the previous day's statement by Eurozone head Jean-Claude Juncker "fully vindicates the positions that I have been setting out over the past seven months."

Juncker was reportedly quoted as saying that he was aware of Greece's fiscal problems in 2008 although he said nothing in order not to harm French and German exports to the east Mediterranean countries.

"That means that either: 1) If we want to find out who is to blame for the economy we must go back to 1981 -- Something that PASOK wants to avoid for obvious reasons. 2) The European Union and mainly Germany and France must 'help out' and not the IMF." (ANA-MPA)

The ND leader concluded by saying, "I supported this position at the EPP's conference, but unfortunately, I was alone ... the government not only backed their arguments, downgrading the country for petty partisan reasons, but in essence it accepted unconditionally (ANA-MPA) an option that is strangling Greece and Greeks today. Let everyone draw his own conclusions."


KKE

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stressed in an announcement that "the heads of the EU and the IMF are saying half the truth and big lies ... they are concealing that the policy of PASOK and of New Democracy that led to the country's looting by big capital had the support and the guidance of the EU and that the crisis dealt a blow at all the countries of the EU."

Greek Ex-Prime Minister Denies He Admitted To Nation's Corruption



ATHENS (AFP)--Former Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis on Sunday dismissed as "nonsense" suggestions that he had been warned about the country's dire financial troubles by a top EU official years previously.
In a statement to state television NET, Simitis also denied admitting in a discussion with the EU official, Eurogroup chief Jean-Claude Juncker, that there was little he could do because of widespread corruption in the country.



"This is nonsense," said Simitis, a Socialist who served two terms in power from 1996 to 2004, overseeing the country's transition to the euro and costly preparations for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
"During my term the country had 5% growth and a public deficit of 4%. I had no reason, and would accept no discussion over whether my country was corrupt or not," the former PM said.



A political row erupted in Greece over the weekend after Eurogroup chief Juncker said Friday that Greece's financial woes were well known among top EU officials but kept quiet until the crisis erupted last year.
"It was quite obvious that one day Greece would have to face this kind of problem, and we knew that this problem would occur," Juncker told a forum on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Washington.



He added that he tried at one point to seek a solution to the problems with an unnamed Greek prime minister who told him: "I am governing a country of corruption."
Officials close to Simitis' successor, Conservative Costas Karamanlis, have also denied he made the remark during his 2004-2009 period in office.
Greece narrowly avoided bankruptcy this year and had to be rescued by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund with a massive bailout loan.



It nearly became insolvent after its credibility collapsed when the new Socialist government of George Papandreou revealed in October that the country's public deficit had been misreported by Karamanlis' government.
Papandreou has since readily admitted that the country has a major corruption problem that stifles progress and investment.

Banks΄ Cost Of Financing May Rise



Of particular concern to Greece and other highly indebted economies of the eurozone was the "message" sent from Jurgen Stark in Washington, which is shared by a large majority of the ECB council: "We can not continue maintaining the low interest rates for much longer because it puts at risk the economic and price stability.”

For Greece, a return of the ECB to the exit strategy in its full form would automatically mean a sharp deterioration in the financing of the banking system both in terms of cost and in terms of volume of the liquidity provided.

The possible solutions in this direction would be threefold: to increase the haircut of bonds eligible for collateral, change the rate of auctions for liquidity to floating rather than fixed and placing a ceiling on the volume of funds provided. Any of these three measures would initially increase the financing costs of banks.

So far, the Greek banks and the Greek state take the liquidity necessary from the ECB through guarantees given to the banks by the state or through bonds placed by Greek banks to the ECB. The international interbank market remains closed. The only exception to this situation is the National Bank’s share capital increase.

Intralot Awarded French Online License



Intralot France, a subsidiary of Intralot Group, has been awarded an Online Sports Betting License by the French Online Gaming Regulator, the ARJEL. The duration of the renewable license is 5 years.

“Intralot France will focus on opportunities in online sports betting exploiting in particular its cutting edge sports betting solution. The company also aims to submit subsequent requests to the ARJEL for online horse betting and poker licences,” the company said in a statement.

France is the second major continental market to regulate the online gaming market following Italy. The “controlled opening” (ouverture controlée) of the online gambling market started following the approval by the French National Assembly of a bill introducing a licensing regime that was enacted in April 2010 and concerns three different online activities: horse betting, sports betting and poker.

Mr. Constantinos Antonopoulos, INTRALOT Group CEO, stated: “The online license that INTRALOT was granted in France is a very important step towards the implementation of our plans to capitalise on the major opportunity represented by the growth of the regulated European online gaming sector. With a population of 65 million and a strong tradition in the lottery and gaming industries, France will play a pivotal role for INTRALOT Interactive in the new era of regulated online gaming. We are looking forward to bringing our pioneering services and products, as well as exciting entertainment experiences to the French market.”
