The Cartoon Of The Day
EDITORIAL
Consumer safety
Half of Greek consumers prefer fresh milk, and they pay 40 percent more for it than Europeans do for pasteurized milk. Worse, according to a study that was published in the Sunday Kathimerini, «fresh milk» is often no more than a misleading commercial slogan. No one can be absolutely sure that locally produced «fresh» milk is, in fact, better than pasteurized milk produced abroad. Nor can one say with certainty that milk sold as having been produced in Greece has not been mixed with foreign imports.
COMMENTARY
Deconstructing Ankara
The comments at Istanbul's military academy last week by Turkey's top general, who called the European Union an «intermediary» of the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and warned that «we now see the kind of pressure Turkey will face in its accession negotiations,» were particularly revealing as to the hardline establishment's stance on the issue. The remarks by General Hilmi Ozkok, chief of the military general staff, who unlike successive governments represents the steadier, hardline establishment, underscored Ankara's skepticism toward the bloc.
