EDITORIAL

Good news for the Greek economy Despite the main opposition party's laments over the state of the Greek economy, there are signs that allow us to remain positive. The announcement by the National Statistical Service (NSS) indicates that the economy's performance has matched its pre-Olympic Games pace. The rise in gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2006 is projected at 4 percent, again putting paid to alarmist forecasts of a post-Olympic slump.

COMMENTARY

Even traditionally vigorous supporters of the «European idea» admit the matter has reached an impasse. France, one of the EU's powerhouses, is facing unrest because of scandals within the government and is too distracted to put the EU project on track.
