EDITORIAL

Fewer offices, more efficiency A much-needed, albeit long-delayed, measure needed to improve the administration of Greece is a reduction in the number of the country's regions, prefectures and municipalities. The newly re-elected New Democracy administration has an obligation to push forward with this ambitious reform and, above all, to overcome any opposition from local officials.

COMMENTRARY

A different Karamanlis The political and economic analysts who have been monitoring government policy after the September 16 elections agree that it is now a different Costas Karamanlis who heads the government. The prime minister now seems more determined, stricter and more experienced and appears to have a greater willingness to interfere in his ministers' work.
