Greek Economy and Finance Minister Nikos Christodoulakis said privatisation and structural reforms must be accelerated if Greece wants to become more competitive. He added that the government would aim to accumulate 3 billion euros under a programme for partial sell-offs of public enterprises.

Good targets for e-business policies - workshop
  The Greek Presidency, in cooperation with the European Commission's Enterprise DG, is organising a workshop to identify good targets for e-business policies in Heraklion, Crete, from 26 to 27 May.
The event is organised within the framework of the eEurope 2005 action plan, and aims to discuss how e-business policies should be designed as well as to identify voluntary targets at regional and national level.
Practical examples of second generation e-business policies, with an emphasis on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) , are the subject of an open call for presentations. The deadline for submissions is 31 March, and the selected presentations will form the basis for discussions at the event.
The workshop is expected to bring together around 150 decision makers and e-business policy practitioners, academics, business association representatives and SME network members.
The workshop is only open to members of the European e-Business Support Network for SMEs, therefore anyone wishing to present a policy initiative is advised to register for membership beforehand.
