Mid-term plan passed in principle by com't



(ANA-MPA) -- The law outlining the Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy Programme's implementation until 2015 was passed by members of Parliament's standing committee on economic affairs on Tuesday, with the majority vote from ruling party MPs.

A second reading will be completed later in the afternoon, while an urgent debate and roll call vote will take place in the Parliament's plenary session on Wednesday. A vote on a related enabling law will come on Thursday.

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos tried to assuage MPs fears as regards the privatisations, assuring them that Parliament will monitor the process closely.

Several ruling PASOK party MPs maintained that privatisation procedures should not be sped up, stressing that public assets should not be sold during a recession to avoid losing on their value. They referred to an inability to collect revenues, underlining that valuable time was lost and insisted on structural changes in favour of taxpayers who are hit the hardest by the austerity measures.

On their part, main opposition New Democracy (ND) party MPs said that, in principle, they will vote down the law and will present the party's position on certain articles of the draft law in Wednesday's plenary session debate. ND accused the government of being inconsistent and lacking credibility, characterising the measures unfair and ineffective.

Samaras: 'No' to mid-term plan



(ANA-MPA) -- Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras, speaking in Parliament on Tuesday during the debate on the Medium-term Programme, said his party is voting against the plan in its entirety and in a coordinated fashion, "as every serious political organisation must do, because its assessments are untenable, its predictions are conflicting and it is economically ineffective and counter-productive."

Samaras also criticised Prime Minister George Papandreou, accusing him that with his policy "he achieved both socialism and barbarism."

The ND leader called on deputies to reject the "false dilemmas and to vote against the government's deadlocks" and accused the ruling PASOK party of "having a talent in blackmailing the people."

Samaras pointed out that "Mr. Papandreou lately invokes patriotism when he is about to take painful measures. But patriotism means a collective effort so as to make our country better. PASOK remembers patriotism when it is going to blackmail for even worse woes. For us patriotism has a meaning when it speaks the language of freedom, not coercion, and when it opens paths of prospect and hope."

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos replied to Samaras, accusing him of being "absent from the effort for the salvation of the country" and as having "an impressively conventional speech, built on the traditional antiquated conception that the government is to blame for everything," adding that "Mr. Samaras is holding safety distances, he is thinking on the basis of his party interest, without thinking of the country's growth prospect."

Eleventh-hour effort to secure vote



Two main parties in last-ditch bid to woo dissenters before ballot on austerity

With just a few hours to go before a critical vote in Parliament on a new package of austerity measures, ruling PASOK and the main opposition New Democracy party reportedly made a last-ditch attempt on Tuesday to win round dissenters straying from party lines.
Sources told Kathimerini that senior lawmakers in the Socialist and conservative camps met with or telephoned dissident MPs ahead of Wednesday’s knife-edge vote. Although ruling PASOK has a five-seat majority in the 300-seat Parliament, one MP has stated outright that he will vote against the austerity measures and at least three others have expressed serious reservations.
PASOK’s Kozani deputy Alexandros Athanasiadis reportedly stuck to his guns on Tuesday despite party pressure, insisting that he would vote against the austerity plan. His chief objection is against plans to reduce the state’s stake in the Public Power Company to 34 percent from 51 percent. His constituency, in northeastern Greece, is home to several PPC plants which employ thousands of locals.
Other PASOK dissenters appeared to soften their stance on Tuesday. Thomas Robopoulos, who last weekend suggested he would vote against the austerity bill, appeared to be reconsidering his position following talks with Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos on Monday.
Speaking on Skai TV on Tuesday morning, Robopoulos said that he would decide “at the very last moment, after I have listened to all the speakers.” “This is a crucial moment; if the memorandum does not pass we shall go bankrupt,” he added, referring to the new austerity package.
The stances of PASOK deputies Panayiotis Kouroublis and Chryssa Arapoglou, who have also expressed serious doubts about the program, remained unclear yesterday.
There were also reports on Tuesday of pressure being applied on mavericks within the ranks of ND too. Elsa Papadimitriou, an ND deputy who suggested earlier this week that she would go against the party line and vote for the measures, was believed to be the focus of ND concern. Sources suggested that dissenters would be ejected from the party.
The three other main parties in Parliament are expected to oppose the measures. But it remained unclear how smaller groupings would position themselves. Dora Bakoyannis, a former ND foreign minister and head of the Democratic Alliance center-right party, did not determine how her party’s five members would vote but called for “votes of conscience.”
Even if the government wins Wednesday’s vote it is not necessarily home free as Thursday’s vote - on a bill outlining the implementation of the measures set out in the first bill - must also be secured if the next tranche of rescue funding is to be released by the country’s creditors and snap elections are to be averted.

Focus of world economy on Greece




Van Rompuy says vote also crucial to eurozone; Rehn sees default if proposals rejected

The coming hours in Greece are “crucial” to the stability of the world economy, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said on Tuesday.
Eurozone leaders and policymakers in Brussels have pinned Greece’s emergency funding on the approval of another austerity package by the Greek Parliament, which votes today on the plan.
Van Rompuy said the vote is crucial to the people of Greece, the eurozone and the whole world.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, speaking beside Van Rompuy in the European Parliament on Tuesday, said the Greek Parliament must “redouble its efforts.” “We need structural reforms for Greece to recover growth,” said Barroso.
The 2012-15 plan introduces 28 billion euros of austerity measures and an ambitious 50-billion-euro privatization plan over the next five years.
European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said on Tuesday that Greece will immediately default if its Parliament does not support the government’s economic austerity proposals this week.
“The only way to avoid immediate default is for Parliament to endorse the revised economic program... They must be approved if the next tranche of financial assistance is to be released,” Rehn said in a statement.
“To those who speculate about other options, let me say this clearly: There is no Plan B to avoid default,” he said.
Rehn’s words appeared to be carefully chosen <+dash><+roman> he did not specifically rule out a contingency plan should Greek parliamentarians refuse to come into line, but said there was “no Plan B to avoid default.”
EU leaders and other senior officials have called in recent days for eurozone and broader EU member states to ensure their banks are well capitalized and are ready to withstand any problems, including potential contagion from Greece.
Rehn said Greece faced a critical juncture this week, with both its future and that of financial stability in Europe at stake.
“The European Union continues to be ready to support Greece. But Europe can only help Greece if Greece helps itself,” he said.

Volendo essere certi, puoi aspettare domani, con il secondo voto sulle norme attuative.
Seguiremo l'andamento della Borsa, sperando ci dia indicazioni: se sale bene, ci sono buone possibilità.

No è oggi che si dovrebbe scommettere, per me passa. (comunque in ogni caso, IMHO, verrà "aiutata")

Non invito nessuno a seguirmi.

Secondo "Ta Nea" del gruppetto dei "malpancisti" del Pasok, cinque/sei deputati, potrebbe essere confermato un solo voto contrario: quindi la maggioranza da 155 si ridurrebbe a 154.
In questo caso il voto positivo è assicurato.

Votazione prevista intorno a mezzogiorno (ora locale)
