(Ta Nea)
Συνεχίζονται οι επαφές
Contatti in corso Τηλεφωνική επικοινωνία, σχετικά με το χρονοδιάγραμμα των εξελίξεων μετά τις αποφάσεις που έλαβε το Eurogroup είχε ο Ευάγγελος Βενιζέλος και με τον πρόεδρο του ΛΑΟΣ, Γιώργο Καρατζαφέρη.
Comunicazione telefonica, i tempi di sviluppo in quanto le decisioni prese dall'Eurogruppo aveva Evangelos Venizelos e il presidente del Laos, George Karatzaferis. Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, ο κ. Βενιζέλος αναφέρθηκε ιδιαίτερα στην ανάγκη να έχουν ψηφιστεί το Μεσοπρόθεσμο Πλαίσιο Δημοσιονομικής Στρατηγικής και ο βασικός εφαρμοστικός νόμος το αργότερο έως τις 30 Ιουνίου.
Secondo quanto riferito, il signor Venizelos ha dichiarato la necessità di avere superato il quadro di medio termine della strategia finanziaria e efarmostikos Legge fondamentale entro il 30 giugno. Σύμφωνα με τις ίδιες πληροφορίες, ο κ. Καρατζαφέρης συμφώνησε, λέγοντας χαρακτηριστικά ότι αυτό είναι απαραίτητο, προκειμένου να εκταμιευτεί η 5η δόση του δανείου.
Secondo le stesse informazioni, il signor Karatzaferis d'accordo, dicendo che è necessario erogare la quinta rata del prestito. Νωρίτερα, κατά την παρέμβασή του από τα έδρανα της Βουλής, ο πρόεδρος του ΛΑΟΣ είχε ζητήσει από την κυβέρνηση μεγαλύτερη αποφασιστικότητα και γενναίες αποφάσεις.
In precedenza, nel suo discorso dal piano della Casa, il Presidente del Laos ha chiesto una maggiore determinazione del governo e decisioni coraggiose. Κάλεσε δε την κυβέρνηση να ζητήσει από τις τράπεζες, στις οποίες μετέχει το δημόσιο, να προχωρήσουν σε συγχωνεύσεις, ώστε να ακολουθήσει στη συνέχεια και ο ιδιωτικός τομέας.
Egli ha esortato il governo a chiedere alle banche, che ha assunto il pubblico di impegnarsi in operazioni di fusione per seguire poi il settore privato. «Ακούω ευχές και παρακάλια για το τραπεζικό σύστημα.
"Ho sentito le preghiere e suppliche per il sistema bancario. Και αναρωτιέμαι.
E meraviglia. Δεν έχετε την ευχέρεια να ζητήσετε από τις τράπεζες Εθνική, Αγροτική και Ταχυδρομικό Ταμιευτήριο να προχωρήσουν σε συγχώνευση; Την άλλη μέρα θα ακολουθήσουν και οι τράπεζες από τον ιδιωτικό τομέα έρποντας και συρόμενες, οι οποίες αποτελούν σήμερα και το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα χρηματοδότησης της ελληνικής οικονομίας» ανέφερε ο πρόεδρος του ΛΑΟΣ.
Non ti è permesso di chiedere alle banche Nazionali, rurale e Cassa di Risparmio Postale di fondere? Il giorno dopo abbiamo seguito le banche del settore privato scansione e scorrevole, che sono attualmente il più grande problema del finanziamento dell'economia greca ", ha detto Presidente del Laos. Ο κ. Καρατζαφέρης αναφέρθηκε και σε συνομιλίες που έχει με ευρωβουλευτές από άλλες χώρες για να προειδοποιήσει ότι οι «μικρότερες» χώρες δείχνουν μεγάλη απροθυμία να στηρίξουν την Ελλάδα.
Mr. Karatzaferis citato nelle conversazioni che ha con gli europarlamentari di altri paesi per avvertire che i "piccoli" paesi mostrano grande riluttanza a sostenere la Grecia. «Υπάρχει στα μεγάλα κράτη μια σοβαρότητα να αντιμετωπίσουν την κατάσταση, όπως πρέπει.
"C'è una parte grande di affrontare seriamente la situazione in modo appropriato. Έχουμε, όμως, τεράστιο πρόβλημα στις μικρότερες χώρες, εκεί που οι κυβερνήσεις είναι αναιμικές, εκεί που υπάρχουν συμμαχικές κυβερνήσεις ή λαϊκίστικες κυβερνήσεις» είπε ο κ. Καρατζαφέρης και αναφέρθηκε στη Φινλανδία, την Αυστρία, την Ολλανδία για να προειδοποιήσει ότι δεν είναι δεδομένη η στήριξή τους.
Ma abbiamo un grosso problema nei paesi più piccoli, dove i governi sono anemici, dove ci sono governi di coalizione o di governi populisti ", ha detto Karatzaferis e riportati in Finlandia, Austria, Paesi Bassi, per avvertire che essi ricevano il sostegno loro. Επικαλούμενος τις συνομιλίες του με τους συναδέλφους του ευρωβουλευτές, ο κ. Καρατζαφέρης περιέγραψε ότι υπάρχει «αδυναμία να πειστεί ο πολίτης της Γερμανίας, που από την ένταξη στο ευρώ είχε αύξηση 5% στον μισθό του, να ψηφίσει βοήθεια στην Ελλάδα, που από την ένταξη στο ευρώ οι αυξήσεις στον δημόσιο τομέα πήγαν 31%».
Citando i suoi colloqui con i suoi colleghi, signor Karatzaferis descritto che ci sia "in grado di convincere i cittadini della Germania unendo l'euro ha avuto un aumento del 5% di stipendio, di votare aiuti alla Grecia, dalla data di adesione l'aumento di euro nel settore pubblico è andato al 31%.

BoG: Account Deficit Decreased In April 2011
In April 2011, the current account deficit decreased to €2,309 million, from €2,898 million in April 2010, reflecting improvements in, mainly, the non-oil trade balance and, secondarily, all other balances (current transfers, services and income account), said the Bank of Greece in a statement.
The €266 million improvement in the trade balance reflects a continued rebound in receipts from exports of goods excluding oil and ships, which grew by 18.0% year-on-year, a 18.8% decrease in the corresponding import bill and a 23.4% decline in net payments for purchases of ships. By contrast, the net oil import bill rose substantially (by 67.3%).
The surplus of the services balance grew by €113 million, mainly as a result of lower net payments for “other” services and, secondarily, because net travel receipts rose slightly. Gross transport receipts (mainly from merchant shipping) fell by 11.8%, while the corresponding payments declined by 17.2%; as a result, net receipts fell by 4.2%.
The income account deficit narrowed by €36 million as a result of a €42 million drop in net interest, dividend and profit payments.
Finally, the current transfers balance showed a deficit of only €8.5 million, compared with a deficit of €182 million in April 2010, chiefly as a result of net general government receipts of €14.6 million, against net payments of €147.6 million in April 2010. (It should be recalled that gross current transfers from the EU mainly include receipts from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), as well as receipts from the European Social Fund, while current transfers to the EU include Greece’s contributions (payments) to the Community Budget.)
In the January-April 2011 period, the current account deficit fell by €2.9 billion or 23.4% year-on-year, to €9.7 billion. This development reflects primarily a large increase of €2.3 billion in the current transfer receipts of general government (mainly from the EU), a €1.3 billion decline in the non-oil import bill and a €1.1 billion rise in export receipts (including oil), which more than offset mainly a €1.5 billion increase in the gross oil import bill.
In more detail, the overall trade deficit shrank by €878 million, as a result of a €1,670 million decrease in the trade deficit excluding oil and ships and a €265 million fall in net payments for purchases of ships, which more than offset a €1,056 million rise in the net oil import bill. Most importantly, receipts from exports of goods excluding oil and ships rose by 16.6%, while the corresponding import bill declined by 11.3%.
A €65 million increase in the surplus of the services balance reflects lower net payments for “other” services and slightly higher net travel receipts, which more than offset a contraction in net transport receipts. Both gross transport receipts (chiefly from merchant shipping) and the corresponding payments showed a decline; as a result, net receipts dropped by €137 million. Moreover, travel spending by non-residents in Greece grew by 5.4% in comparison with the corresponding period of 2010, while travel spending by residents abroad rose by 4.7%. As a result, net travel receipts increased by €11 million. Non-residents’ arrivals rose by 15.2% year-on-year in the January-April 2011 period.
The income account deficit rose by €146 million year-on-year, almost exclusively due to higher net interest, dividend and profit payments (up by 5.0%).
Finally, the current transfers balance showed a surplus of €1,227 million, compared with a deficit of €920 million in the corresponding period of 2010, mainly as a result of an increase in EU transfers to general government, concerning direct aid and subsidies under the Common Agricultural Policy. As already mentioned in previous press releases, due to the quick implementation of the relevant procedures, the bulk of the funds allocated to general government under EU current transfers for the whole of 2011 had already been absorbed during the first two months of 2011.
Capital transfers balance
In April 2011, the capital transfers balance showed a deficit of €7 million, compared with a surplus of €11 million in April 2010. (Capital transfers from the EU mainly include receipts from the Structural Funds – except for the European Social Fund – and the Cohesion Fund under the Community Support Framework.)
In the January-April 2011 period, the capital transfers balance showed a surplus of €305 million, compared with €159 million in the corresponding period of 2010. This rise mostly reflects a €152 million increase in EU capital transfers to general government. The overall transfers balance (current transfers plus capital transfers) recorded a surplus of €1,532 million, compared with a deficit of €761 million in the corresponding period of 2010, reflecting the above-mentioned development in EU current transfers.
Combined current account and capital transfers balance
In April 2011, the deficit of the combined current account and capital transfers balance (corresponding to the economy’s external financing requirements) reached €2.3 billion, compared with €2.9 billion in April 2010. In the January-April 2011 period, this deficit came to €9.4 billion, compared with €12.4 billion in the corresponding period of 2010 (down by 24.8%).
Financial account balance
In April 2011, non-residents’ direct investment in Greece showed a net inflow of €16 million, without any remarkable transactions. Residents’ direct investment abroad recorded a net outflow of €46 million, likewise without any remarkable transactions.
Under portfolio investment, a net inflow of €633 million was recorded, reflecting a €1.5 billion decrease in residents’ holdings of foreign bonds and Treasury bills (inflow). This was partly offset by a €711 million decrease in non-residents’ holdings of Greek government bonds and Treasury bills, a €96 million decline in non-residents’ investment in shares of Greek firms (outflow) and a €136 million increase in residents’ holdings of foreign bonds and financial derivatives (outflow).
Under “other” investment, a net inflow of €1.9 billion was recorded, which is mainly attributable to a €2.7 billion increase in non-residents’ deposit and repo holdings in Greece, as well as a €228 million rise in the outstanding debt of the public and the private sector to non-residents (inflow). These developments were offset by a €1 billion increase in resident credit institutions’ and institutional investors’ deposit and repo holdings abroad (outflow).
In the January-April 2011 period, direct investment showed a net outflow of €342 million (compared with a net inflow of €635 million in the corresponding period of 2010). Specifically, net outflows of residents’ funds for direct investment abroad reached €364 million, while net inflows of non-residents’ funds for direct investment in Greece were marginally positive (only €22 million).
A net outflow of €5.4 billion was recorded under portfolio investment (against a net inflow of €2.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2010). In more detail, an outflow was recorded due to, mainly, a decrease of €8.0 billion in non-residents’ holdings of Greek government bonds and Treasury bills and, secondarily, a €528 million increase in residents’ investment in foreign derivatives. These developments were only partly offset by a €2.8 billion decline in resident credit institutions’ and institutional investors’ holdings of foreign bonds and Treasury bills and a €278 million drop in residents’ holdings of shares of foreign firms.
Under “other” investment, a net inflow of €15.4 billion (compared with a net inflow of €14.8 billion in the corresponding period of 2010) is mainly attributable to a €21.3 billion increase in the outstanding debt of the public and the private sector to non-residents (of which €21.1 billion concern net general government borrowing, which reflects gross borrowing of €21.4 billion under the support mechanism for the Greek economy). An inflow was also recorded due to a €4.0 billion fall in resident credit institutions’ and institutional investors’ deposit and repo holdings abroad. These developments were partly offset by a €9.8 billion decline in non-residents’ holdings of deposits and repos in Greece (outflow).
At end-April 2011, Greece’s reserve assets stood at €4.6 billion. (It should be recalled that, since Greece joined the euro area in January 2001, reserve assets, as defined by the European Central Bank, include only monetary gold, the "reserve position" with the IMF, "Special Drawing Rights", and Bank of Greece claims in foreign currency on residents of non-euro area countries. Conversely, reserve assets do not include claims in euro on residents of non-euro area countries, claims in foreign currency and in euro on residents of euro area countries, and the Bank of Greece participation in the capital and the reserve assets of the ECB.)

French PM: Greece Must Continue Efforts On Public Finances
PARIS -(Dow Jones)- France remains determined to help Greece out of its debt crisis, but the government in Athens must continue its efforts to shore up public finances and increase competitiveness, Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Tuesday.
"We've already given a big financial aid to Greece and we remain determined to help it, but for us to do this the Greek government must continue its efforts on both its public finances and the competitiveness of the economy," Fillon said.
Fillon also called on Greek parties to back the austerity measures the government will have to pass after a vote of confidence scheduled for Tuesday night.
"It's absolutely necessary that all the Greek political forces show responsibility at a crucial time for the country," he said.
At the same conference, held in Matignon, the prime minister's residence, Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he is been keeping his eyes riveted on the debt-laden Mediterranean country.
"Russia follows with great interest what's going on over there," Putin said. "We're interested in a fast solution to this problem."

UPDATE 1-Merkel says optimistic on Greek crisis resolution
Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:01am EDT
* Merkel says hopeful for resolution of Greek crisis
* Says Greece needs more austerity, improve competitiveness
By Chris Borowski and Pawel Sobczak
WARSAW, June 21 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday she was optimistic the European Union would manage to resolve the Greek sovereign debt crisis but said Athens must press ahead with more austerity measures.
Speaking in Warsaw hours before Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's cabinet faces a confidence vote in parliament, Merkel also reaffirmed Berlin's view that private investors should take part in any bailout of Greece.
"We believe some burdens can be put not only on taxpayers but that banks must also participate (in the rescue). I am optimistic that we will achieve positive results because it is in the interests of banks and of countries for the euro currency to be stable," Merkel told a news conference. "Greece's competitiveness must be increased, Greece's debt has to be reduced, Greece's government must make the right decisions in parliament," she said, speaking through an interpreter, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk by her side.
Tuesday's vote in the Greek parliament follows a euro zone ultimatum that Athens must approve a new five-year package of tough economic reforms in two weeks or lose a 12-billion-euro aid tranche it needs to avoid bankruptcy. [ID:nL3E7HL0BG]
"These three components -- Greece's tasks, EU solidarity and the voluntary participation of banks -- are the solution. I am optimistic we will successfully take this path," said Merkel.
"This is not about one country, it is about the whole euro zone."
Merkel was in Warsaw for a joint session of the German and Polish cabinets to mark the 20th anniversary of a friendship treaty between the two countries.
Poland, which is not in the euro zone, assumes the EU's rotating presidency on July 1 and will chair the bloc's ministerial meetings in the second half of this year.
Tusk, whose centre-right government wants Poland to swap its zloty currency for euros later in the decade, said it was in Warsaw's interests to support efforts to resolve the crisis.
"I advise everyone to keep their fingers crossed for Europe because it's also our Polish interest," he said.

Grecia, Merkel ottimista su soluzione crisi debito
martedì 21 giugno 2011 14:59
VARSAVIA, 21 giugno (Reuters) - Il Cancelliere tedesco Angela Merkel ha detto di essere ottimista sulla soluzione della crisi del debito greco e ha riaffermato la visione di Berlino sulla necessità di un coinvolgimento dei privati nel salvataggio.
Per Merkel: "la competitività della Grecia deve essere accresciuta, il debito deve essere ridotto, il governo deve prendere le decisioni giuste in Parlamento".
Parlando in una conferenza stampa dopo il colloquio con il premier polacco Donald Tusk, il cancelliere ha aggiunto: "crediamo che alcuni pesi possano essere sopportati non solo dai contribuenti, ma anche dalle banche, che devono partecipare".
"Sono ottimista che raggiungeremo risultati positivi perchè è nell'interesse delle banche e dei paesi che l'euro sia stabile", ha aggiunto Merkel.

Greece Must Default If Loan Tranche Fails, Miklos Says
By Radoslav Tomek - Jun 21, 2011 3:04 PM GMT+0200 Tue Jun 21 13:04:22 GMT 2011
A failure by Greece to meet conditions for release of the next tranche of an international aid package would imply the country must declare a default, Slovak Finance Minister Ivan Miklos said.
Greek authorities must approve fiscal measures and privatization laws by the end of June to secure financing needed beginning next month, Miklos said. The release of the next installment of the 110 billion-euro ($158 billion) package pledged by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund last year hinges on Greece’s ability to meet these goals, he said.
“Full responsibility now lies with the Greek government and parliament,” he said at a press conference in Bratislava today. “If they don’t approve all that needs to be approved, then there is nothing to talk about. Greece will have to declare a default.”
More than a year after receiving the first bailout in the euro region, concern about Greek public finances has risen and the country remains dependent on external aid to avoid a default. Prime Minister George Papandreou today faces a confidence vote as he struggles to convince lawmakers to accept austerity measures.

The release of the next installment of the 110 billion-euro ($158 billion) package pledged by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund last year hinges on Greece’s ability to meet these goals, he said.
“Full responsibility now lies with the Greek government and parliament,” he said at a press conference in Bratislava today. “If they don’t approve all that needs to be approved, then there is nothing to talk about. Greece will have to declare a default.”
More than a year after receiving the first bailout in the euro region, concern about Greek public finances has risen and the country remains dependent on external aid to avoid a default. Prime Minister George Papandreou today faces a confidence vote as he struggles to convince lawmakers to accept austerity measures.
