EDITORIAL
Adjusting goods to demand trends
 The problems dogging the farmers of the group of lemon groves known as Lemonodassos on the Peloponnesian coast of Trizinia are a painful reminder of the troubles facing Greece's primary produce sector. The sector is sustained thanks to repeated injections of European Union funding but, at some point, it will have to be exposed to the real world of free market business.
COMMENTARY
The non-reform impulse
 Twenty-five years after Greece joined the EEC and six years after it became a eurozone member, the institutional framework that shapes the conditions for business activity in this country remains confusing and contradictory and thus intimidating to foreign investors. One of the first things Costas Karamanlis did as prime minister was order his ministers to free 15 major business projects from the shackles of red tape. Yet more than two years after the premier's call, stagnation remains. Asked about the causes of inertia, most ministers point a finger at the Ministry of Environment and Public Works.
