EDITORIAL

A crime of which many are guilty Illegal construction is a crime of which many are guilty in this country. While there is a plethora of laws designed to curb this illicit activity, none of this legislation is actually enforced. The state bodies that have been set up to responsibly address this problem remain generally indifferent.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Greece in the world Greece's relationship with the rest of the world is something of a see-saw oscillation between self-absorption and extroversion, between navel-gazing and punching above its weight in the international arena. On the one hand, this is the result of the intense local politics in which all Greeks are involved and, on the other, of the demands placed on the country by its responsibilities as a member of international organizations. Greece's current presidency of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), like its presidency of the European Union in the first half of 2003, is purely the result of chance.
