[01] EU to reply to Turkey's announcement on non-recognition of Republic of Cyprus

BRUSSELS 1/9/2005 (ANA/M. Spinthourakis)

The reply will ascertain, among other points, that Turkey's announcement does not produce legal results and that the EU expects Ankara to respond to all the commitments it assumed on signing the protocol.

This conclusion was reached during the discussion held on the issue here on Wednesday, during the first session of the Permanent Representatives Committee following the summer recess.

The discussion will be continued at the level of foreign ministers, who will be holding their regular informal six-month conference in Newport, Wales, on Thursday and Friday.

The British presidency, according to a commitment made on Wednesday, will be presenting a new draft announcement during the discussion which the Council will be called on to adopt.

It was made clear during Wednesday's session of the Permanent Representatives Committee that the 25 member-states believe that Turkey cannot insist for a long time on the position that it will be negotiating with a member-state that it does not recognize.

According to well-informed sources, the Council's legal service, in a report presented to the Permanent Representatives Commit-tee on Wednesday, clearly states that at the outset of accession negotiations Turkey will enter a process which will lead it to the de facto recognition of Cyprus.

Shortly after the British presidency's draft announcement on Cyprus was presented to the national delegations, Foreign Minister Petros Molyviatis communicated by phone with his British counterpart Jack Straw as well as with Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos.

The foreign minister will also be meeting Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul on Thursday.

Foreign ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos, speaking shortly before leaving for Wales, said that "the Turkish statement has created a series of problems which must be replied to by the EU so that no vague points are left."

[02] Commission's legal service refers to Turkey's customs union protocol obligations

BRUSSELS 1/9/2005 (ANA - M. Spinthourakis)

According to a Commission spokesman, COREPER members were briefed by the Commission's legal service that Turkey's written statement reaffirming its refusal to recognize EU member-state Cyprus -- attached to an extension of a customs union protocol Ankara signed last month -- in no way excuses the country from its obligations under the protocol.

The spokesman reiterated that the protocol's implementation is of particular importance for the Union, while citing Turkey's obligation, for instance, to allow Cypriot-flagged vessels to dock at Turkish ports.

[03] 'We shall claim, but we are willing for a compromise safeguarding the just causes and rights of Cyprus', Cyprus FM says in ANA interview

VIENNA 1/9/2005 (ANA/D. Dimitrakoudis)

Iakovou gave the interview in light of Thursday's informal EU General Affairs Council in the Welsh city of Newport.

The foreign minister of Cyprus, who held talks here on Tuesday with his Austrian counterpart Ursula Plasnik, focusing on Turkey's European prospects, said that achieving a "strong counter-statement" to the Turkish statement (on the non-recognition of the Republic of Cyprus), which accompanied Ankara's signing of the Customs Union Protocol, is a "basic pursuit for Cyprus."

Iakovou also stressed the need for a timetable and checkpoints for the implementation of the Protocol by Turkey to be included in the negotiating framework, while expressing his concern over methods applied by the European Union's British presidency.

Expecting its positions to be supported by many of its partners, Cyprus is pursuing a strong counter-statement, Iakovou said in his interview, adding that this is important for it since the Turkish statement was unprovoked and provocative and raised many political and legal queries.

[04] Ankara dismisses possibility of delay in starting EU accession talks

ISTANBUL 1/9/2005 (ANA - A. Kourkoulas)

"We believe that negotiations for Turkey's full membership in the EU will begin normally on Oct. 3, as planned," spokesman Namik Tan said, while dismissing press reports citing the possibility of a "counter-statement" by the Union vis-a-vis Ankara's unprecedented reaffirmation that it does not recognize EU member-state Cyprus.

Turkey re-stated its "non-recognition" policy, in writing, no less, while at the same time signing an extension to a customs union protocol with the EU's 10 new members, including the Republic of Cyprus.

The Turkish spokesman also declined to comment on an ongoing COREPER meeting in Brussels, convened to mostly focus on EU-Turkey relations.

Asked about a high-profile recent statement by French President Jacques Chirac, namely, that Ankara must clarify its position regarding Cyprus, the Turkish foreign ministry spokesman said the "significant element" in the French president's comment was the point about the EU remaining "faithful to its obligations" (vis-a-vis Turkey).

Finally, he echoed past statements by Turkish officials in saying that a solution to the Cyprus problem is not a condition for EU membership.

[05] PM Karamanlis to meet with business groups, social partners over next 2 days

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos said Karamanlis will meet with a variety of professional groups and social partners, as well as with the civil servants' union, ADEDY.

Relevant ministers will also be present during the prime minister's contacts, Roussopoulos announced.

Gov't defends labor groups' right to protest during PM's visit to TIF: The government on Wednesday reiterated that Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has no intention of requesting the cancellation of planned rallies by labor groups during his visit to Thessaloniki early next month for the 70th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), traditionally the venue where the premier gives an annual "state-of-the-country" address.

In reply to a press question during his regular briefing, government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos noted that "protests are an expression of labor unionists' right to choose the manner in which they promote their causes."

He added that the state's reaction vis-a-vis such rallies will be exactly the same as in previous years, "nothing will change".

On his part, Macedonia-Thrace Minister Nikos Tsiartsionis said protesters were more than welcome in Thessaloniki during the prime minister's tour of the country's largest and most influential trade exhibition.

"They are more than welcome to visit; Thessaloniki is a friendly city, its markets will be open, as there's protest tourism as well," he said.

Additionally, he reminded that problems with similar rallies over the past few years were more-or-less absent, something that should continue this year as well.

[07] Greece sends condolences to U.S. and Iraqi presidents

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

In his message, Papoulias said: “The loss of so many human lives and the extensive material damage which hurricane 'Katrina' left behind it caused great grief in our country. On behalf of the Greek people and myself personally, I wish to express my sincere condolences. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and of the American people."

President Papoulias also conveyed his condolences to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Wednesday, after a stampede atop a Baghdad bridge claimed the lives of hundreds of people in the capital of Iraq.

"The great tragedy which struck your country and caused the death of so many people shocked us deeply. I wish to express on behalf of the Greek people and myself personally to you and to the families of the victims our sincere condolences," the Greek president said.

Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Wednesday conveyed his condolences to US President George W. Bush over the loss of life and destruction caused by Hurricane "Katrina" this week in several US States, especially in Mississippi and Louisiana.

"On behalf of the Greek government and the Greek people, let me express my sincerest condolences for the tragic loss of life caused by Hurricane Katrina ... Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and all those enduring the consequences of this destruction," Karamanlis' letter reads.

Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis also sent his condolences on Wednesday to his Iraqi counterpart Ibrahim al-Jafari, hours after a stampede atop a Baghdad bridge claimed the lives of hundreds of people in the Iraqi capital.

"It is with great sadness that I was informed of the tragic loss of so many innocent people today in Baghdad," Karamanlis' statement read.

Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou addressed a message of condolences to U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday for the victims of the hurricane "Katrina" that has struck the United States.

"I wish to express my sincere condolences to you for the unexpected and tragic loss of so many human lives by the destructive action of the typhoon 'Katrina' in the United States," he said in his message.

Papandreou added that "our prayers are with the families of the victims and all who must now face the consequences of this natural disaster."

PASOK party leader extends condolences to Iraqi prime minister for Baghdad tragedy: Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou also addressed a message of condolences to Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Al Jaafari as a result of the tragic event taking place in Baghdad earlier on Wednesday.

"News of the tragic event in Baghdad today shocked us. A peaceful day, dedicated to the anniversary of the death of imam Mousa Al Kazem, was turned into a day of sorrow and grief not only for the Iraqis but for the entire world as well," he said in his message.

Papandreou also extended his condolences and solidarity to the families that lost their loved ones.

Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Christodoulos also conveyed his condolences to the White House over the loss of life and destruction caused by the devastating hurricane.

[08] Pavlopoulos says talks over local gov't election changes to begin in Sept.

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Pavlopoulos said the meetings and related dialogue will begin next month, while he reiterated that the election change -- establishing a 42-percent limit for first round election instead of the 50+1 limit now in force -- comprises a pre-election commitment by ruling New Democracy party.

[09] Minister makes account of work produced by interior ministry and Equality General Secretariat

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Pavlopoulos referred to the strategic planning of the interior ministry's policy which focuses on linking issues concerning equality between men and women with national priorities such as development, employment, education and the shaping of a policy framework covering the 2004-2008 period.

On the question of promoting women's employment, he said that the Equality General Secretariat is implementing the project on "integrated interventions for women", in the framework of the 3rd Community Support Framework, which concerns unemployed women of all ages and is budgeted at 53 million euros. A total of 9,018 women will benefit from the project.

[10] Voulgarakis, Stylianidis receive Bavarian Interior Minister Beckstein

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Following his meeting with Bavarian minister, Stylianidis stressed the traditionally good relations between Greece and the Bavarian state, while noting that trade has slacked off in recent years, primarily because of developments in the Balkans. He added that the emphasis was to rekindle vigorous trade and industrial cooperation.

Other topics discussed included the prospects for European integration and the draft EU constitution.

Earlier, during a meeting with Voulgarakis, Greece's experience with security during last year's 2004 Olympic Games was discussed, particularly in light of next year's World Cup in Germany.

During both meetings, Beckstein praised Athens for successfully and security hosting the 2004 Olympics.

ISTANBUL 1/9/2005 (ANA - A. Kourkoulas)

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

[14] Finmin sees economy responding well to policy

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Unemployment dropped to 10.4% in the first quarter of 2005 against 11.3% in the same period a year earlier. Exports in the first half of the year rose by 7.0%, and tourism also showed an upturn due to policy, the minister told reporters.

He was speaking after separate meetings with Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and leaders of trade groups, as part of consultations on the 2006 budget, which the government is currently drafting.

"Dialogue with the social partners is a fundamental choice for the government, which will also maintain efforts to apply its reform plan in the wider sector," Alogoskoufis said.

He also noted that 483 corporate business plans had been submitted under the government's new investment law totalling 1.3 billion euros. So far, 134 schemes had been approved, representing 232.5 million euros of investment capital and 1,247 new jobs.

Ministry officials said that GDP growth was estimated at 3.5% in the first half of the year, which would be maintained in the second half. The growth total for the year would be 3.5%-3.6%, likely move higher in 2006 due to a rise in public investment.

The officials rejected talk that state revenue had risen due to the surge in global oil prices, as the hikes had reduced demand. They also attributed a decline in the rate of increase of revenue from Value Added Tax to tax evasion, which the government would combat.

[15] Gov't on fiscal performance, revenues

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos made the comment in response to press questions during his regular briefing, and over queries regarding lower than expected revenues flowing into state coffers during the first seven-month period of the year.

"Because more systematic work is taking place, and because (tax) services are exploiting computerization more and more, it hoped that they will post better results than those posted by past governments," the spokesman said.

[16] Merchant marine and finance ministers brief PM

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

According to sources, Kefaloyiannis and the prime minister discussed capitalizing on shipping-generated revenue, as well as the financing of major port projects on the basis of the protocol signed with the European Investment Bank.

Kefaloyiannis, in comments he made to reporters after his meeting with Karamanlis, said that during the summer, 2.5 million passengers traveled through the port of Piraeus, while more than 5 million traveled through the country's ports altogether.

He stressed that the state guarantees transport safety, noting that most ships are reliable and relatively new.

"As for the older ships, the state is stepping up inspections to avoid problems as much as possible," he added.

Next week, Kefaloyiannis is expected to announce a series of measures regarding coastal shipping policy as well as the criteria that will go into effect for subsidizing low traffic density routes.

Alogoskoufis did not make any comments following his meeting with the prime minister.

[17] Finance and transport ministers discuss public utilities draft law

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Their talks were held in the presence of Deputy Transport and Communications Minister Anastasios Nerantzis and the secretary generals of the two ministries.

According to transport ministry sources, the basic principles contained in the public utilities draft law were discussed during the meeting, as well as changes the government is preparing to promote.

Also discussed was the new invoice policy for public utilities, but without any final decisions being taken. Many public utilities are seeking increases for their invoices and services, also in the wake of considerable increases in oil prices in past months.

However, government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos has reassured the public that there will be no increases in bus fares by the end of the year.

[18] SEB president says banner tourism season will help keep GDP growth at 3.5%

[19] Heating fuel subsidy a possibility, Development Minister says

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

According to market estimates and based on current circum-stances, heating oil may cost more than 0.60 euros/litre this winter compared with last year's rate of 0.46 - 0.48 euros/litre.

Sioufas also announced that the government will initiate another attempt on a European Union-level to contain the repercussions created by soaring international oil prices.

The government had previously proposed the reduction of a special fuel consumption tax when international oil prices exceed certain price levels, but the proposal did not meet the approval of the EU ministerial council.

[20] Analyst: Greek property prices seen rising 5%-6% in 2005

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

Fuelling the anticipated rise are strong demand due to relatively high building activity and low interest rates coupled with a correction due to low levels in 2004 and artificial demand linked to new tax measures in the pipeline, the report said.

At the same time, the Greek property market is not overvalued as in other European countries, and is therefore better equipped to handle a rise in interest rates with no adverse impact on the real economy, it added.

[21] Olympic Airlines reacts promptly to French newspaper's allegations

Athens, 1/9/2005 (ANA)

The company referred in an announcement to a previous announcement made on Tuesday concerning aircraft hirings and criticized newspapers and other media which, as it stressed, draw up lists and deviate from official data publicized by the state-run civil aviation authorities.

According to the Olympic Airlines' administration, such data is checked for its content, accuracy and expediency and for this reason the company will take all the legal action necessary to protect its reputation and prestige.

In parallel, it reiterates its assurances to the public that its primary concern is safe traveling for its passengers.

[27] Cyprus government: British presidency counterstatement is unacceptable

NICOSIA 1/9/2005 (CNA/ANA)

Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides told a press conference Wednesday afternoon that the draft declaration was deemed "unacceptable and totally unsatisfactory" and warned that negotiations for Turkey's accession will not start if the negotiating framework is not examined and agreed upon.

On his part, Foreign Minister George Iakovou said the paper presented was "unbalanced and inadequate" and hoped that a new document which will be presented Thursday during the informal EU foreign ministers' meeting in Newport will be better and more balanced.

"The Cyprus government expects the Presidency to change the document's internal balance and will include what was said by the permanent representatives of Cyprus, France and other representatives who criticized the British counterstatement", he said.

The setting is now transferred to the informal meeting in Newport, Britain, said Iakovou, who expressed hope that Thursday "we will have a better draft and we will give a fight for our positions".

During Wednesday's COREPER meeting, the British Presidency submitted a draft political declaration, which aimed at replying to the Turkish declaration. The British document began with the phrase that the "25 welcome the signing of the protocol by Turkey". It also said it looked forward to an indiscriminate implementation of the additional protocol by both Cyprus and Turkey.

However, the representatives of Cyprus, France, Greece and other states considered the document unsatisfactory, and the majority of the member states pledged they favored a "counter declaration" which should include Turkey's obligation to fully implement the protocol extending its customs union agreement, to note that the Turkish declaration that it does not recognize the Republic of Cyprus has no legal validity, to point out that Turkey must normalize relations with the Republic of Cyprus and for a monitoring system to be set up to observe the implementation of the protocol by Turkey.

For this reason, Britain was asked to take back its declaration and to change it in such way as to include the above points, which will be presented Thursday in Newport.

Cyprus Government Spokesman Chrysostomides said Britain "did not show the necessary impartiality and objectivity, on the contrary an effort was made to import elements of the British policy in the declaration".

Noting that a new draft declaration will be presented Thursday, Chrysostomides said that if this is not deemed satisfactory then "the negotiating framework of the EU with Turkey will not be examined and before the start of such a discussion on the negotiating framework, the issue of the counter-declaration of the EU in connection with Turkey's declaration must be solved in satisfactory manner".

"If it is not discussed and no negotiating framework is agreed, then negotiations will not begin", the spokesman underlined.

Chrysostomides said that such counter-statement must be "clearer and respond to the dignity and principles upon which the EU is based".

[28] US Congressmen meet Cypriot leaders

NICOSIA 1/9/2005 (CNA/ANA)

The delegation expressed condolences for the recent air crash of a Cypriot airplane, that resulted to the death of 121 people and made a

symbolic gesture offering President Papadopoulos the US flag that was flying half mast at the US Embassy's building in Nicosia, the day after the air crash.

The US Congresspersons expressed solidarity with the Cypriot people for their efforts for a just solution of the Cyprus problem and called upon the international community to respect the decision of the Greek Cypriots to reject the Annan plan for a comprehensive solution.

They also thanked the government of Cyprus for its support in the efforts to combat terrorism and money laundering.

Head of the delegation, Congressman Tom Davis, said after a meeting with Cypriot House President, that there is now a unique opportunity for a reunification of Cyprus, emerging from Turkey's aspirations to accede the European Union.

''We expressed our condolences about the tragic air crash and we discussed about the situation in Cyprus, the efforts to unite the island and the unique opportunity with Turkey seeking accession to the EU and how we can work together with all parties to try to bring about a resolution'', Davis stressed.

Congresswoman Carolyn Malone noted that the US delegation discussed all that ''needs to be done to earn the respect and support for the majority of Greek Cypriots who voted against the Annan plan''.

She said that it is encouraging that the Syrian troops left Lebanon, and expressed hope that the Turkish troops in Cyprus would do so as well.

''Syrian forces left Lebanon therefore increasing greater opportunities for peace, justice and democracy. It is my hope that the Turkish forces that invaded Cyprus will leave the island so that Cyprus Greeks and Cyprus Turks can work out their differences in a peaceful way'', she said.

Malone spoke also about the property rights of the Greek Cypriot refugees, and said that they should all have the right to return to their homes, and that this right should be included in the Annan plan for a Cyprus solution.

About the air crash, she expressed the solidarity of the American people, noting that Cyprus was amongst the first countries that responded after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York.

''We bring our regards about the great loss of life at the air crash and we are with you in solidarity in this time of great loss. We are also with you in solidarity as Cyprus moves forward a peaceful and just way for reunification'', Malone stressed.

The US delegation visited Cyprus in the framework of its fact-finding mission in the region regarding antiterrorism.

They have already visited Morocco and Lebanon and Wednesday they left Cyprus for short visits to Egypt and Israel.
