Pointless levies for third parties
If you look carefully at the charges listed on a regular ferry ticket, you will see that a great proportion of the cost is accounted for by value-added tax and third-party levies.
These levies in favor of third parties are nothing more than a further example of a serious flaw in the economic system which - as usual - consumers end up paying for. And such levies are perhaps the only factor contributing to the rising cost of living that the government can really do something about. |

Letter from the editor
Dear Readers,
Kathimerini English Edition has been part of the International Herald Tribune in Greece and Cyprus for the past 10 years.
Over this decade, we believe we have been successful in our mission of providing news and comment of the highest quality that is both tailored to our eclectic group of readers - from subscribers to visitors - and yet provides a true picture of how an important Greek newspaper sees Greece and the world. The joint venture between Kathimerini and the International Herald Tribune has strengthened the presence of both newspapers in Greece, Cyprus and, more recently, Albania. Our Internet site www.ekathimerini.com has also become the place where thousands of readers from all over the world go daily for authoritative news and comment on our region. |
