EDITORIAL

No one can be immune from law We are very close to having to face a major paradox. Should the former managing director of Siemens Hellas Michalis Christoforakos, who was arrested in Munich on Thursday, be extradited to Greece in order to stand trial, any evidence he could possibly give about the politicians whose palms he greased to secure lucrative contracts for the German electronics company will have absolutely no standing in a court of law.

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.
