[01] Social security bill may exceed government's majority, says State
Minister Pappas
The draft law on social security reforms may pass with a higher
percentage than the government majority, State Minister Nikos Pappas
said in an interview with Efimerida ton Syntakton newspaper on Monday.
The government's proposal puts an end to the "disaster" scenarios as
cuts are avoided and additional resources are ensured, he added.
Asked to comment Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem's statement
that the first evaluation can take months, he said: "Some may wish for
a new game of delays. But the agreement is being implemented and the
fiscal figures are positive."

from Chios docked at Piraeus port on Monday morning.

from Chios arrived late on Sunday.
