Extractions: PART 3 (the economies): PART 4 (imports and exports): PART 5 (a final glance at Greece and Poland) Greece and Poland are two European countries separated by many others, with different historical backgrounds, unlike cultures, and two different economies. The size of the two countries provides some contrasts in economies. Greece, being smaller, does not seem to have as large an economy as the transition economy in Poland. Polands economy has been growing at a highly successful rate but Greece has kept a steady rate as well through the years. Liberal policy in Poland provides a good step for the Polish economy while with some economic aid from the EU, Greece has been able to form some policies that have Greece pointed in the right direction as well. It is unfair to say which economy is better since in Greece and in Poland the respective economies both seem to work for their respective countries. references Part 1: info from 1."Civilization in the West", Mark Kishlansky 2."Encyclopedia Americana 2002" 3.www.cia.gov

Extractions: In parallel, Greek interests control 3,480 vessels of various categories i.e., 9,2% of the world's total number of vessels in service or 17,8% of the world fleet deadweight. As a result, the Greek owned ocean going fleet maintains its position on top in the world league. The above statistics are more impressive when seen against the negative international background following the 11th September terrorist attacks which drastically changed the political and economic climate worldwide. Domestically, the first encouraging step was taken by the Greek government towards restoring the competitiveness of the Greek register: namely, the long overdue measures concerning cuts in the rates of tonnage tax and reduced taxation of seafarers as well as the possibility for retirees to return to seagoing service. These measures express a wider vision and a renewed political will. It is hoped that they will be followed by a second set of measures in line with the relevant EU Guidelines on state aids to shipping (1997) and with similar measures adopted in most of the EU Member States. In addition, further measures and incentives will be required to attract manpower to the shipping industry and improve maritime education. The recruitment of Greek officers and attracting new entrepreneurs to the industry requires, inter alia, a change in the overall attitude of society vis-à-vis the shipping sector. In the year 2001 we witnessed the lowest turnout of attendees to the maritime academies, which is indicative of a problem of perception leading to the reluctance of youngsters to follow a shipping career. Changing this perception constitutes the industry's and the State's major challenge and will require a revitalising of the national maritime education system and of the chronically ailing National Seamen's Pension Fund (NAT).

Extractions: Expires: This single chapter is excerpted from the FY 2003 Country Commercial Guide for Greece, describing the overall commercial climate in the country. The full text of the report is also available on this website. 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Greece is an import dependent economy, and as such, represents excellent marketing opportunities for U.S. goods, products, equipment, services and technology. This is especially true since U.S. suppliers are very highly regarded in Greece for superior quality and consistency. Moreover, there are no significant non-tariff barriers to U.S. exports. Nevertheless, the U.S. accounted for only about 4½ % of Greece's imports in 2001, which totaled about $28 billion, signaling plenty of room for expansion of U.S. business in the Greek market.

Extractions: Finland Economy Back to Top World War II left Finland with towering economic problems, including high inflation, unemployment, and an unfavorable balance of trade. Since then the industrial sector has expandedby the late 1960s more persons were employed in manufacturing than in both agriculture and forestryand the trade balance has improved. Except for public utilities, industry and business are privately owned. The government, however, exercises considerable control over the economy by means of numerous regulations. The national budget in 1998 anticipated $41.3 billion in revenues and $43.1 billion in expenses. Finlands gross domestic product (GDP) in 1999 was $129.7 billion. Finland's economy is based primarily on private ownership and free enterprise; in some sectors, however, the government exercises a monopoly or a leading role. After World War II, Finland was still only semi-industrialized, with a large part of the population engaged in agriculture, mining, and forestry. During the early postwar decades, primary production gave way to industrial development, which in turn yielded to a service- and information-oriented economy. The economy grew especially rapidly in the 1980s, as the country exploited its strong trading relations with both eastern and western European countries. By the early 1990s, however, the country was experiencing economic recession, largely because the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 deprived Finland of its chief trading partner. The economy began a slow recovery in the mid-1990s, as Finland refocused its trade primarily toward western Europe.

Extractions: Poland Economy Back to Top World War II, Polands economy depended largely on agriculture. However, the Communists, who had achieved a monopoly on power by 1947, adopted a Soviet-style planned economy in which heavy industry and engineering were emphasized. Nearly all branches of large industry, trade, transportation, and finance came under the control of the Communist government. Private ownership was limited to agriculture, handicrafts, and certain services. During the first several decades of the Communist period, Polands economy grew. However, in the late 1970s the country began to experience severe economic difficulties, caused by a series of poor harvests, unrest among industrial workers, shortages of consumer goods, lagging technology, rising inflation, and a massive foreign debt. These economic problems, which worsened during the 1980s, were responsible in large part for the collapse of the Communist regime and its replacement by a non-Communist coalition in 1989.

Extractions: Greece is located between the Ionia Sea and the Aegean Sea, and is slightly smaller then Alabama. It is comprised of very mountainous areas and lots of islands. The structure underlying Greece is "Marble". The climate is mild and makes it a vacation paradise. The historical landmarks make it necessary to visit from an architectural standpoint and for general education. Greece rates highly on literacy at 95% and is one of the highly advanced nations in the world, besides being one of the oldest to explore marble. The first marbleworks were started probably in the Cycladic islands in the centuries of 3000 B.C. Hellas is a celebration in word and picture of a beautiful, rugged land, its diverse peoples of antiquity, and their unique civilization which gave birth to the finest elements in our own. The story of the ancient Greeks is known to most persons today in the form of a few highlights: the Acropolis of Athens, the philosophers and sculpture and playwrights of classical Greece, the precious heritage of the Olympic games. Marble contributes considerably to the mineral wealth of Greece. Greece provides rare varieties of marbles which can scarcely be found elsewhere and which have greatly contributed to the history of civilization.
