Do read the TFGR Quarterly Report!

The EU Task Force for Greece has just come out with its latest Quarterly Report. This is worth reading! (40 pages)

One cannot help but be quite amazed about all the many things which the reports says are in progress. One gets the feeling like a new country is being built here. When that new country is finished, it's going to be a great place!

I only fear that the percentage of Greeks reading these 40 pages will have several zeroes after the comma. On the other hand, the percentage of Greeks who presently see no light at the end of the tunnel certainly has 2 digits before the comma.

It is not good enough to do good things; one also has to talk about it. It’s not good enough when only interested parties are impressed by the content of 40 pages. The message that something positive is happening must reach the ‘common man’. Above all, it must reach those 41% of the young generation who, as I read today, are considering leaving the country. If they got the message that Greece is the place where the future action will be, they might change their minds and take part in that action.

As I have often stated before, I am amazed how little public attention and media coverage some of the good things which are happening in Greece get. I may be totally wrong but my guess is that the existance of the TFGR is not known to too many Greeks who are not directly involved with it. My guess is also that Greeks have the perception that the TFGR is something which EU-elites have decided to bring upon Greece. Finally, my guess is that the TFGR is being perceived as a type of occupation force; perhaps as enforcers of Troika-measures; and those Greeks who cooperate with it may become seen as collaborators.

It would be very helpful if the Greek media gave as much publicity to the TFGR as they gave to subjects like PSI, OSI, MoU and so forth. And for those who can't wait, here are some questions and answers about the TFGR.

  1. I note that the EIB/EIF scheme for lending to SME's & sole traders (which I commented on a few weeks ago) has been given a name - Joint European Resources for Micro to Medium (Intermédiaire) Enterprises - JEREMIE.

    It appears that the poor dears in Brussels don't realise that it was Jeremiah who predicted the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians.

    I discovered that the EU also has schemes known as Jasmine, Jessica and Jaspers; Jeremie is in the same stable.

    Initial skim of the report didn't reveal any surprises.

    BECAUSE THIS IS THE KILLING FACTOR IN GREECE, THE MEDIA ARE IN ALL HOUSES, AND FOLLOWED BY ALL GREEKS.
    THE MEDIA HAVE TO BE ACCUSED FOR CREATING ONLY CONFUSION, STIMULATING AGGRESSION, FOR NOT ADDING ANY CONSTRUCTIVE MINUTE TO MAKE THINGS CHANGE.

    MAY THE GREEK MEDIA, AND ALL WHO WORK THERE, BE ACCUSED FOR MURDERING A PEOPLE, IN FRONT OF THE WORLD, BY THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE.
    BANISHED FROM GREECE.

    ALSO AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SHOULD WAKE UP.

    WAKE UP WORLD.
    WAKE UP ALL.
    WAKE UP GREECE.
    WAKE UP EUROPE.
    DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT MONEY.
