PM Papandreou chairs cabinet meeting

   Prime Minister George Papandreou, addressing a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, stressed that the memorandum and its strict observance are a necessary precondition for the coutry's salvation,"but there are sectors in which we can expand and implement specific policies that will support the citizen."

    Papandreou mentioned two sectors in which government initiatives can be taken. The one sector is of the creation of a social protection network and the other the country's growth model and a different growth.

    According to the prime minister, two corresponding committees will be created that will complete their work by the end of August. In the first of the two government officials, deputies and members of the Movement will be participating.

    Papandreou further said that "our government has the citizen at the epicentre of its attention and serves him." As he said, "maybe the events and the legacy of the past diverted the government's attention, of the mass media and of the citizens necessarily to how we shall avoid the worse, meaning a course scheduled in advance towards bankruptcy, but this does not mean that our basic target is not the serving of the citizen."

    The prime minister also mentioned that "despite the unprecedented crisis and the extra effort made by the government for the country's salvation, all this time it has laid considerable foundations for a change in the state's way of functioning," while noting that this is only the beginning and the basis on which the government is supporting itself to build a different state.

    The cabinet endorsed a proposal by Interior Minister Yiannis Rangoussis regarding the draft law on the electoral expenditures of lists and of candidates in the municipal and regional elections, that will be tabled in Parliament on Wednesday.

    As of the next municipal elections that will be held on November 7, the aim of arrangements anticipated in the draft law is "the substantive reshaping of the process of checking the revenues and expenditures of the lists and candidates, that will be taking place with the criterion of the principles of transparency and legality."
