EDITORIAL

Necessary changes to civil service The new code for civil servants which will be introduced by the Interior Ministry is expected to bring about far-reaching changes. The 169 articles of the soon-to-be-launched code are designed to deal with the chronic problems that beset the civil service, such as staff evaluation, transfers and the process of awarding permanent status to employees.

Myths and facts We Greeks are something else. We like playing the victim, we like surviving by being different, we like being the guardians of that legendary Greek soul that is persecuted by others. There is talk these days about the possibility of a Cyprus veto to Turkey's EU bid.
