EDITORIAL

Tax inspection deadlines The government has done well to extend the statute of limitations on tax offenses for 2000-2001. It will enable tax authorities to carry out inspections that were not made in recent years. It also sends a message to society that no one should hope that they will be forgotten until the statute of limitations expires.

COMMENTARY

Leadership in the Balkans In recent years Greek businesses in the Balkans have shown overt creativity. It's not that Greece leads the field in a region with a total population of over 140 million people. It's that Greek businesses are undoubtedly playing a major role in the economies of countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, while the National Bank of Greece's purchase of Finansbank has opened the way into the Turkish market. Greek banks alone have opened some 1,000 branches in the Balkans and another 3,600 industries and commercial companies from Greece are raking in profits there.
