[01] Inner Cabinet meeting on interior, public order ministries' issues

Meanwhile, Karamanlis conferred Monday with interior, public administration and decentralisation minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos, who told reporters after the meeting that the government's emblem was "everything in the light, and zero tolerance to corruption".

Replying to press questions after the meeting on whether additional measures would be taken to combat corruption and shield the state, Pavlopoulos said it was important that inspections be intensified, adding that the citizens had confidence in the state and institutions such as the Public Administration Inspectors Corps and were submitting complaints.

He stressed the importance of the citizens' contribution by notifying the authorities of incidents of corruption, adding that the contribution of the press was also welcome in uncovering such phenomena.

Pavlopoulos said he and the prime minister discussed matters concerning the preparation for next months municipal and prefectural elections, noting the need for informing the citizens on their participation, but also on procedural matters concerning the holding of the local government elections.

The elections, he said, were an important event, and must be conducted in an impeccable manner.
