[01] Tsitouridis meets French counterpart
Labour and Social Insurances Minister Savvas Tsitouridis met in Paris
on Monday with his French counterpart Gerard Larcher, with talks
focusing on workplace-related issues and employment, all ahead of
Tuesday's EU ministers' council in Brussels.
Afterwards, both ministers said they agreed over the need to safeguard
employees' health and safety in the workplace and to avoid promoting
initiatives that damage Europe's social model.
Tsitouridis will represent the Greek side in Brussels.
[02] First day of stricter EU security measures
Transport and Communications Minister Michalis Liapis on Monday toured
Athens' Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport to observe, first
hand, new EU-wide security measures in airports across the Union.
Liapis toured the departure and hand luggage control areas and was
briefed on the measures taken as part of a EU decision banning the
carrying of most liquids by passengers aboard airliners.
An increased number of airport personnel on duty during the first day
of the latest and stricter measures apparently reduced the
inconvenience for passengers, Liapis said.
