[01] PASOK's Coordinating Council discusses positions on energy market
Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou chaired a meeting
of the party's Coordinating Council on Tuesday on PASOK's positions
regarding the energy market in light of a discussion in Parliament on
three bills harmonising Greek legislation with corresponding European
Union directives.
Papandreou said that a future Coordinating Council meeting might have
to be public with the presence of the media and to be broadcast by
PASOK's Internet radio to enable people to know what work is being done
by the party.
The discussion took place following a proposal presented by the
relevant coordinator Rodoula Zissi, who referred both to what PASOK did
in government and to what the New Democracy government is planning.
Zissi said that the result of PASOK's policy is that cheap electric
power currently exists in the country, the price of the kilowatt for
household use is the lowest among the European Union of the "15"
member-states and for industrial use it is third behind Britain and
Luxembourg.
