Extractions: Current News Policy European Union NATO ... Bilateral relations Relations between Latvia and Greece [17 Apr 2003] print version email this link Greece has been a NATO member state since 1952 and an EU member state since 1981. Since 1 January 2001 Greece has been a member of the European Monetary Union. Greece is holding the EU Presidency for the first half of 2003. The friendly relations that exist between the Republic of Latvia and the Hellenic Republic (Greece) have intensified due to the exchange of visits by high-ranking officials in recent years. Interest in developing bilateral cooperation is stimulated by the prospect of a common future and opportunities for cooperation within the EU and NATO. The year 1998 witnessed an important event for both countries: the opening of the Embassy of the Republic of Latvia in Athens. State visits by the President of Latvia Mr Guntis Ulmanis to Greece in March 1999 and by the President of Greece Mr Constantinos Stephanopoulos to Latvia in October 2000 served as a significant impetus for increased cooperation. From 27-29 March 2002, President of Latvia Vaira Vike-Freiberga made a return state visit to Greece. During the visit, a meeting took place between the Presidents of Latvia and Greece and their respective delegations, followed by meetings with the President of the Parliament Mr Apostolos Kaklamanis, the Prime Minister Mr Constantinos Simitis, the Mayor of Athens Mr Dimitris Avramopoulos and representatives of the leading political parties. The President of Latvia gave a speech at the Academy of Athens.

Extractions: South Africa is one of the most sophisticated and promising emerging markets in the world. The unique combination of a highly developed first-world economy infrastructure and a huge emergent market economy has given rise to a strong entrepreneurial and dynamic investment environment with many global competitive advantages and opportunities. Formerly dependent primarily on gold and the extractive industries, the economy is now more broadly based, with manufacturing, the largest sector, contributing nearly one quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP). South Africa has modern financial and industrial sectors and excellent infrastructure. Government policy is to restructure the economy by encouraging export growth, lower tariffs in line with the World Trade Organisation and increased competitiveness. That process has already begun and long term Government objectives are to continue the transformation through implementation of the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy. The South African economy is one of the most "open" economies in the world, in the sense that foreign trade accounts for a much higher share of the gross national product (GNP) than in the case of many other countries.

Extractions: Published by EH.NET (February 2002) Astrid Möller, Naukratis: Trade in Archaic Greece (Oxford Monographs on Classical Archaeology). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000. xvii + 290 pp. $95.00 (cloth), ISBN: 0-19-815284-1. Reviewed for EH.NET by David Tandy, Professor of Classics, University of Tennessee. Naukratis was a very unusual Greek settlement begun in about 625 BCE. It was located on the east bank of the westernmost arm of the Nile, at least 60 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. It is important, that is, worthy of the attention of economic historians, for several reasons. It was a settlement dedicated to commercial activity. It was a port of trade designed to channel goods out of and into Egypt. Its most amazing characteristic is the way that the life of the settlement was subordinated to the economic activities of the place. Greeks were present, but always belonged conceptually somewhere else. Naukratis seems to have been an important player in Greek economic development in the sixth century, as the economic engines of the Aegean area began to get going in earnest in anticipation of and in preparation for the efflorescence of Greek political and artistic culture in the fifth and fourth centuries. Astrid Möller, most recently a Fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, D.C., and a Feodor-Lynen Scholar in Perugia, Italy, has now given us her long-awaited monograph on Naukratis. It is the first extensive treatment of the settlement since Michel Austin's much less ambitious

BSEC offers emerging markets unsaturated in exports and imports. While keeping existing trade routes open, growing efforts are spent in search of new business channels. A new fabric of intra-regional and international trade is presently in the making. Complementarity among the Member Countries offers wide scope for commercial exchange. There is a genuine effort on the part of the Member States to develop foreign trade with emphasis on intra-regional trade. Prospects are appealing in both spheres. Development of intra-regional trade broadens the stage of activity stimulating new opportunities of economic cooperation. In this frame new enterprises are established in the BSEC countries, paving the way to investments and transfer of technology which in turn push further both trade and development.

Press Releases JETRO Athens Office JETRO ATHENS was set up in 1965 and has ever since comprised an active part of the global network of JETRO offices. Its primary mission is to encourage and assist the Greek corporate community to expand its activities to Japan and thus to further develop economic and trade relations of mutual benefit between the two countries. Towards the achievement of this goal, JETRO ATHENS under the auspices of the Japanese Government offers a full range of services, programs and activities, aiming to encourage investment in the Japanese market, while also focusing on bilateral trade promotion. There is also close association with the Greek Japanese Chamber of Commerce and other relevant local agencies and trade institutions, which provides the necessary support towards the further enhancement of trade relations between Greece and Japan. The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) was established by the Japanese government in 1958, as the nations principal organization for the comprehensive implementation of trade policy. In its first few decades, JETRO promoted Japanese exports to meet the needs of the nations postwar economy. In the first half of the 1980s, however, as Japans trade surplus continued to grow, the organization began promoting imports entering Japan to help the nation achieve more balanced foreign trade.
