  • [01] Alt. Agriculture Min: Gov't welcomes mobilisations when are within the legitimate democratic functioning

    "The government has welcomed the farmers' mobilisations and has noted that they are their constitutional right," stated Alternate Agriculture Minister Markos Bolaris adding "however, when the mobilisations are outside the legitimate democratic functioning then those that incite the farmers are being exposed."

    Bolaris was answering to Communist Party MP Manolis Syntihakis who called the farmers' mobilisations just and right.

    "We are all being judged as a political system by the targets we set, the political volition and the means we use" added Bolaris and asked for "proposals and dialogue,"

    [02] Greek shipowners rebuff EU decision on taxation

    Greek shipowners on Thursday rebuffed a European Commission request to Greek authorities last month to review -in the next two months- which ships would be opted for inclusion under a Greek favorable tax system and exclude fishing vessels, tow vessels and yachts from this system.

    "There is no fundamental distortion of competition in the sea transport sector in the European Union and any changes in the institutional and fiscal framework could have unforeseen consequences, damaging not only Greece but the rest of the European Union," the Greek Shipowners Union said in an announcement.

    [03] S&P says successful implementation of Greek programme could lead to credit rating upgrade

    Greece's credit rating could be upgraded to B, from CCC+ after completion of a first review of the Greek economic adjustment programme, disbursement of loans according to a ESM schedule and probably combined with an ECB decision to begin accepting Greek state bonds as collateral again, Standard & Poor's said on Thursday.

    In a report on Eurozone Rating Trends 2016, S&P said that a stable outlook for Greece's credit rating in the next 12 months showed that review risks were balanced. "A successful implementation by Greece of programme elements would probably contribute to enhancing its compressed dynamic for investments and growth and could help the government to create a good will among its official creditors for a further debt restructuring," S&P said, adding that "on the other hand, we could downwgrade Greece's credit ratings if the new government failed to implement reforms agreed in a memorandum signed with the European Commission".
