[01] PM calls for cuts in wasteful spending
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Wednesday reiterated the need to
cut waste in terms of public sector spending, speaking during a Cabinet
meeting convened to consider economic policy and the state of the
economy amid the international crisis.
Karamanlis reportedly cited 12 axes for public sector spending,
stressing that fiscal reforms necessitate the cooperation and volition
by all ministry leaderships.
"Absolute fiscal discipline is needed by all ... no delays or
oversights in the decided initiatives can be tolerated," the premier
said.
