EDITORIAL

Defenseless consumers Greek consumers are protected, at least in theory, by two state watchdogs, namely the general secretary for consumer affairs and the newly founded consumer ombudsman. Also Greek banks have set up a so-called banking ombudsman so as to make sure their clients are not wronged in any way. But all these bodies have failed to take notice of a very obvious shortcoming that has been recently pointed out by the European Commission.
