GRECIA: S'IMPEGNA A ULTERIORI TAGLI NEL 2011
08:56 19 NOV 2010
(AGI) Atene - La Grecia ammette che non riuscira' a ridurre il deficit 2010 nel tetto programmato e s'impegna a ulteriori tagli nel 2011. Atene punta sull'aumento dell'Iva, il congelamento delle pensioni e sulla riduzione degli sprechi pubblici. Le nuove misure di austerity dovranno tagliare il deficit di altri 5,6 miliardi di euro, portandolo al 7,4% del Pil l'anno prossimo. L'Ecofin aveva invitato Atene a fare di piu' per raggiungere gli obiettivi prefissati in cambio delle garanzie sui prestiti per 110 miliardi di euro. "Non abbiamo ancora vinto la battaglia ma siamo nella migliore posizione per far fronte ai problemi reali - dice il ministro delle Finanze, George Papacostantinou - e cioe' uno stato sprecone, compagnie pubbliche problematiche e evasione fiscale". .

Ciao Tommy ...
Il 2011 sarà un anno di nuovi sacrifici per la Grecia. A dirlo è la bozza di bilancio consegnata dal ministro delle Finanze al Presidente del Parlamento ad Atene. Una semplice chiave Usb che contiene ulteriori misure all’insegna del rigore per un totale di oltre 6 miliardi di euro. Anche per rispettare in pieno gli impegni presi con Unione Europea e Fondo Monetario Internazionale in cambio del prestito da 110 miliardi di euro, l’obiettivo è quello di fare scendere il deficit. Il traguardo: 7,4 percento del Pil, ossia due punti in meno rispetto all’anno in corso.
Le risorse necessarie dovrebbero scaturire non tanto da nuove tasse o tagli a salari e pensioni – ha assicurato il governo Papandreu – ma, piuttosto, da interventi strutturali e nuove fonti di reddito, a partire da lotta all’evasione fiscale e aumento dell’Iva su certi prodotti. Così come in precedenza, anche queste misure scateneranno nuove proteste. L’approvazione del bilancio è prevista per il 15 dicembre, e i sindacati hanno già decretato per quella data il settimo sciopero generale da inizio anno.
Ma mi hai battuto sul tempo ... come al solito

Tassa d'imbarco su navi da crociera extra-Ue in Grecia
19/11/2010
La Grecia impone una tassa d'imbarco alle navi da crociera battenti bandiera di Paesi non comunitari. Lo ha stabilito il ministro degli Affari marittimi, delle Isole e dell'Industria della pesca, Yiannis Diamantidis. La tassa per ogni passeggero e per viaggio è fissata a 3,95 euro. È previsto uno sconto del 20% per le compagnie di crociera che impiegano almeno l'1% di marinai greci rispetto al numero totale dell'equipaggio; un ulteriore sconto del 7% è previsto ogni qualvolta la nave attracca in un porto greco secondo un programma pianificato.

Papaconstantinou Says Greece Sticking to Budget Plan
By Jennifer M. Freedman - Nov 19, 2010 10:44 AM GMT+0100 Fri Nov 19 09:44:19 GMT 2010
“It’s all about growth,” he said today at a panel discussion in Frankfurt. “One percentage point up or down growth makes all the difference in the world. We are beginning to have a convincing story. At the moment, we’re simply sticking to doing the program right.”
The Greek budget shortfall was revised earlier this week to the highest in the euro region, putting pressure on Prime Minister George Papandreou to adopt more austerity measures to meet pledges included in the bailout package that allowed the country to avoid default. Greece’s fiscal woes started a sovereign-debt crisis in the euro area that has led Ireland to the brink of accepting a rescue package.

Greece's Fin Min: Need Decisions On Ireland, But Not In Haste
FRANKFURT (MNI) - The point has been reached where decisions need to be taken as to whether Ireland will ask for aid from the EU/ECB/IMF, but the decision cannot be rushed, Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said Friday.
One is "now at a position where decisions have to be taken, where the Irish government is discussing" with the so-called troika "to see what kind of help is necessary and on the basis of those discussions to decide whether to ask for aid or not," the minister said at the European Banking Congress here.
While "time is of the essence," the process should not be rushed, he said.
"Every country has its own characteristics, and Ireland is different from other countries," Papaconstantinou explained. "The Irish government has taken courageous and difficult decisions."
The Irish government does not have a problem with financing, but rather the problem is in the country's banking sector, he noted.
There is "absolutely" no question that a bank should be able to fail, the minister said later on the panel.
He said he had "no doubt" that the European monetary union "will survive."

Tax Threatens Budget as Greece Tries to Keep Bailout Promises
By Maria Petrakis - Nov 18, 2010 11:54 PM GMT+0100 Thu Nov 18 22:54:06 GMT 2010
Greece’s budget planning is going awry because of a perennial problem: taxes.
Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou plans to tackle tax evasion and cut spending on health care and transportation as revenue fails to meet targets. Yesterday, he reduced the estimate for 2010 net budget revenue a second time, to 6 percent compared with 13.7 percent when the country agreed in May to a 110 billion-euro ($150 billion) bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
“We all know the country’s economy is at a critical turning point,” Papaconstantinou said at a press conference in Athens. There is “a big difference between what we are doing now and what we did in May,” he said.
Greece has among the poorest rates of tax collection in Europe and avoidance remains rife, as more than 33 percent of workers are listed as “self-employed” and yet they provide just 4 percent of revenue, according to estimates from Athens- based EFG Eurobank. Inspectors from the EU and IMF began this week a review of progress to approve a third loan payment.
Taxes are vital to lower what was the largest budget deficit in the euro region last year at 15.4 percent of gross domestic product, according to the IMF. The shortfall will be 7.4 percent in 2010, the Finance Ministry said yesterday.
‘Strange Economy’
“We had an un-functioning, strange economy for 20 years and 18 months doesn’t get it back into place,” said Jason Manolopoulos, who helps manage $100 million for a hedge fund at Athens-based Dromeus Capital. “It’s not only tax evasion, it’s that the Greek tax system is so complicated it pushes people into the grey. It’s going to take time.”
Money from income, corporation and sales taxes increased 3.7 percent in first 10 months of the year, the ministry said. Revenue from taxes is among the lowest in the EU at 32.6 percent of GDP, compared with the 39.3 percent average for the 27 EU nations, according to a 2009 Eurostat report.
Reductions to wages, pensions and investment have helped mask lagging revenue in Prime Minister George Papandreou’s deficit-cutting drive. The government is counting on the last two months of the year to boost state income, buoyed by motor fees, real estate taxes and the effect of increases in sales taxes, even as the economy contracts 4.2 percent.
The IMF said Sept. 14, after approving a second loan installment, that curbing tax evasion and improving collection are key to achieving the deficit-reduction pledges.
“The program’s credibility hinges critically on improving tax compliance,” the IMF said. “Without improved compliance, restoring fiscal sustainability will likely require additional hikes in tax rates and painful expenditure cuts.”
Crimes Unit
In the first nine months of 2010, the country’s Financial and Economic Crimes unit imposed 3.1 billion euros of fines, almost double the year-earlier figure, said Ioannis Kapeleris, who runs the office, in an Oct. 7 interview. His office isn’t responsible for collecting the money, he said.
“We’re being asked today to fix the errors of a decade,” he said. “There was an absence of tax collection. Restoring this mechanism and getting it working again requires some time. It can’t be done from one day to the next.”
The government will announce specific steps next week to curb tax evasion and overhaul tax services, includi
ng abolishing 100 offices and deploying collectors elsewhere, Papaconstantinou said yesterday. All the measures announced in the 2011 budget were approved by officials from the EU and IMF, he said.
Back Taxes
The budget includes 1.6 billion euros to be raised from clamping down on tax evasion by collecting back taxes and fines, and a new system to settle disputes to increase revenue next year without raising tax rates, Papaconstantinou said. The government extended the deadline to Nov. 29 after collecting 300 million euros, he said yesterday.
Greeks are complaining about notifications being sent to the dead, unemployed and tax-paying enterprises.
Theodoros Hiotakis, a 57-year-old with a veterinary practice in Athens, said he was “horrified” when he was told he owed 2,500 euros of back taxes.
“I pay my taxes every year, every single year,” Hiotakis said. ‘We’ve told the tax department there’s a mistake and we’re waiting to see what they’ll say.”
Deputy Finance Minister Dimitris Kouselas said that of the 1.5 million notices sent by the tax office, some may be mistakes. Preliminary results from the amnesty show “a significant response from taxpayers,” he said.
Concerns about the fairness of Papandreou’s austerity measures may risk the social and political support that is essential for the program to succeed, the IMF said.
‘Poor State’
Ninety-five percent of income-tax payers declare annual income of less than 30,000 euros, according to data compiled last year by the Federation of Greek Industries.
“The problem with Greece is that it is a poor state with rich people,” said Kapeleris at the Financial and Economic Crimes unit. “Some people didn’t just magically achieve wealth. They were breaking the law, evading taxes.”
Papandreou revealed a budget deficit after coming to power in October 2009 that was twice what was reported by the previous administration, in part exacerbated by falling tax revenue as the country geared up for elections.
Additional tax evasion in the two months before elections amounts to 1.5 percent of GDP when aggregated over all the elections since the return of democracy in 1974 after the military junta, according to a study by Spyros Skouras, a professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, and Nikos Christodoulakis, a former economy minister.

Certamente l'Europa dovrà studiare meccanismi permanenti per sanzionare i furbi impenitenti!

L'accordo implicito che ha determinato la nascita della moneta comune era quello per cui, per un decennio e più, la Germania avrebbe avuto bisogno di una valuta non troppo forte per poter con maggiore facilità integrare nel contesto nazionale la ex DDR,.......
Il decennio è più che trascorso, e se la Germania ha fatto grandi passi in avanti nella assimilazione della ex DDR, ci si chiede se altrettanto si possa dire della parte dei compiti a casa che toccava fare agli altri...
