"Clearly, the European Union and the European Commission do not trust Greeks to implement reforms, which is why they want to make sure that Greece continues to be reliant on funding from the European Union. They don’t want Greece to relax and fall back on reforms. The credit line would be important, clearly, although it’s not sufficient to ensure that Greek public finances remain stable".
This is one of the most frank interviews which I have read of late. The brutal EU-truth may very well be: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes!"

Hello Mr. Kastner,
ReplyDeleteI also follow another blog. Mish. I found the below article quite interesting.
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.gr/2014/12/greece-needs-another-10-billion-bailout.html
I especially found the land registry issue quite amusing. Every so many years we all have to re declare what land and property assets we have, because a new "temporary" land registry is created. Even though we are already paying taxes etc on these properties, every so often we need to re declare.
I think to myself who in Greece has so much land that does not want to have this land registry and what black market advanatges there are for not to be an official land registry. I am wondering if the eu official really knows who but does not mention names. I can mention an organization but i will withhold for now.

I fail to understand the last part of the quote, Et Dona Ferentes, what gifts?
ReplyDelete@V, don't be coy, If you mean the church say so instead of mubling conspiracy theories about the EU and the Greek church.
