A view yesterday...
TODAY'S PHOTO

Union keeps mum on the cartels Meetings between employees and unions, where that they can resolve disagreements and reach some common ground on controversial issues, are a good thing. Such contacts should be welcome, even if one of the two sides is on the ropes due to cartel allegations (and is for that reason trying to change the agenda of the meeting). That said, we should welcome the meeting between the Federation of Greek Industries (SEV) and the General Confederation of Workers (GSEE).

COMMENTARY

Shedding the old vision The EU decision to put further expansion plans on hold until the bloc's governments have reformed its creaking institutions does not deal a fatal blow to Turkey's European ambitions. The reason is that the question of reforms, which is pending after the constitutional debacle in France and the Netherlands, will have been resolved long before the Muslim nation has wrapped up its membership talks. For the time being, the EU has not closed its door on Ankara.
