The European Parliament and Greece's Accession to the European Community
BRIEFING European Parliament History Series The European Parliament and Greece's accession to the European Community SUMMARY Enlargement of the European Communities (EC) to the south represented one of the most profound changes in European politics of the 1980s. It dramatically altered political, economic and social structures not only in the EC and the then Member States, but also in the three accession countries: Greece, Portugal and Spain. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Greece's accession to the European Communities (now Union). Greece became the tenth EC Member State in 1981, following its transformation from an authoritarian to a democratic system of government. Importantly, Greece’s EC accession was connected with the consolidation of the country’s emerging democratic system, starting with the transitional government under Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis from July 1974 on. Although in the mid-1970s it was not formally involved in deciding on EC membership, the European Parliament saw itself politically obliged to discuss the major guidelines of EC accession and to assert the need for democratic conditions in Greece. Against this background, this Briefing looks at the democratisation process in Greece and the country's EC accession from the perspective of the European Parliament. First, it demonstrates that the Parliament demanded the fulfilment of fundamental democratic criteria before accepting any rapprochement between Greece and the Community. Resting on the basic understanding of democracy, the core demand was the holding of free and fair parliamentary elections. Second, it shows that, following the establishment of democratic structures, the European Parliament quickly developed relations with Greece, for example with the Greek Parliament in the form of a joint parliamentary committee. -

Mitsotakis. Tempi Duri Attendono I Greci
Mitsotakis. Tempi duri attendono i greci [ATENE] Il nuovo premier greco ha 51 anni ed è rampollo di una dinastia politica non particolarmente amata. Il padre, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, è passato alla storia patria con il poco onorevole nomignolo dell’“apostata”. Nel 1965, da ministro nel governo centrista di Georgios Papandreou, aveva congiurato con il re Costantino per rovesciare il suo stesso governo e imporre un esecutivo nominato dal monarca. Per tre anni Mitsotakis e il monarca corrompevano deputati in serie al fine di creare una maggioranza di centrodestra, perché ritenevano i centristi troppo di sinistra. Era il primo passo verso il colpo di stato dei colonnelli del 1967. Dopo la caduta del regime militare, Mitsotakis padre abbandonò il partito di Centro e si schierò apertamente con Nuova Democrazia, la destra ellenica. Riuscì a diventare premier nel 1990, con una maggioranza parlamentare di un solo seggio. E anche quello era stato ottenuto corrompendo l’unico deputato di un piccolo partito. Durò solo tre anni, finché Mitsotakis cadde in mezzo agli intrighi e alle pugnalate alle spalle. Il problema che costò a Konstantinos Mitsotakis il governo era la dissoluzione della Jugoslavia e la nascita ai confini settentrionali del paese di un nuovo stato che si era denominato Macedonia, proprio come l’omonima regione greca. Il premier avrebbe voluto trovare un accomodamento con i vicini ex jugoslavi ma il suo ministro degli esteri Antonis Samaras aveva subito capito che questa era la sua grande occasione: scatenò un’ossessiva campagna diplomatica, rivendicando per la Grecia l’esclusività del nome storico di Macedonia e accusando i suoi colleghi di partito di “tradimento”. -
'A Success for Konstantinos Karamanlis' from Le Figaro (11 February 1976)
'A success for Konstantinos Karamanlis' from Le Figaro (11 February 1976) Caption: On 11 February 1976, the French newspaper Le Figaro comments on Greece's reaction to the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Nine to accept the Greek application to join the European Communities without the requirement of a pre-accession probation period.

They rejected any political precondition as well as any idea of a ‘probationary period’, thus contradicting the opinion of the Commission, which had wanted to delay Greece’s entry until that country’s economy was better able to cope with all the consequences of entry. As always, the negotiations that are to be opened with Greece will be fairly lengthy. Nonetheless, the Nine do not want them to be extended unnecessarily. -

Question for written answer E-004628/2015 to the Commission Rule 130 Eleftherios Synadinos (NI) Subject: State and European aid for foundations established by former Greek Prime Ministers According to recent articles,1 2 3 six foundations established by former Greek Prime Ministers, namely Eleftherios Venizelos, Georgios Papandreou, Konstantinos Karamanlis, Andreas Papandreou, Konstantinos Mitsotakis and Kostas Simitis, are currently operating in Greece. These foundations have always enjoyed absurd privileges totally out of keeping with their (non- existent) work, especially as the founders’ progeny sit on their boards of directors. One of those privileges is that they are ‘administratively and financially independent’, meaning that they can be paid government grants but are not obliged to render account or report financial data to the Greek Government. They also enjoy what can only be described as insulting tax immunity under an unprecedented and unfair system of tax relief at the Greek people’s expense. Finally, the Greek State has handed over property and land to these foundations absolutely free of charge under a completely non-transparent system. In view of the above, and given that these foundations are entitled to participate in Community programmes funded by the EU (80 %) and from national resources (20 %), will the Commission say: – whether it intends to request official figures on the amount and method of funding of these foundations and financial statements for reasons of transparency and to inform the public? 1 http://www.newsbomb.gr/ellada/apokalypseis/story/277964/lefta-gia-to-lao-haristikan-se-idrymata-proin 2 http://www.newsbomb.gr/ellada/apokalypseis/story/277645/harizoyn-ellada-kai-se-pethamenoys- prothypoyrgoys 3 http://elevengr.blogspot.be/2013/09/blog-post_9.html 1055315.EN PE 553.776 . -

How Has the Phenomenon of Revolutionary Groups Been Resilient in Greece? a Relational Study of Two Contentious Episodes (1965 – 2002)
How Has the Phenomenon of Revolutionary Groups Been Resilient in Greece? A Relational Study of Two Contentious Episodes (1965 – 2002) Sotirios Karampampas Department of Politics University of Sheffield A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2017 Acknowledgements If life is a journey, then PhD is a remote island in a wild ocean. It is a solitary trip in yourself and the great world that stands beside you ready to be discovered. This trip would have been, though, impossible without the help and active support of a number of people that deserve to be named as the least sign of gratitude. First, I want to thank my supervisors, Prof. Maria Grasso, Dr Liza Stampnitzky and Dr Rhiannon Vickers. Maria has been a great inspiration throughout the process, as through her advice, guidance and comments contributed significantly to this work. Besides, through her general attitude and mentality made me want to become better as a researcher and academic. Lisa was there in the final stages of the PhD, providing highly-appreciated feedback and helping me to (re)gain a macro-level perspective to the whole project. Finally, Rhiannon provided great feedback and support during the first two crucial years of this project. Thank you all for the great support. I also want to thank those that helped with all their “paddling” to keep me and this project afloat. A big thanks, then, (in order of appearance…) to Martha, Hisham, Giannis, Dimitris and Andreas that managed to make my life in Sheffield easier. A huge thanks goes to my family: my mother, my father and my sister that believed in me, even in times – especially for those – that I did not. -

Title The permanent campaign strategy of Greek Prime Ministers (1996–2011) Candidate Panagiotis Koliastasis Degree This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 Abstract Various academic authors have analysed the implementation, the causes and the impact of the permanent campaign strategy by political executives in presidential and parliamentary systems, notably the United States and United Kingdom. This study builds on this literature and extends the research on the permanent campaign in the European parliamentary majoritarian context by examining contemporary Greece as a national case study. In particular, the study addresses three questions. First, did contemporary Greek Prime Ministers adopt the permanent campaign strategy? Second, why did they do so? Third, what impact did the implementation of the permanent campaign have on their public approval? The research focuses on the cases of three successive Prime Ministers in Greece: Costas Simitis (1996–2004), Kostas Karamanlis (2004–2009) and George Papandreou (2009-2011). Simitis and Papandreou were leaders of the centre-left PASOK, while Karamanlis was the leader of the centre-right New Democracy. The study finds that all three Prime Ministers undertook the permanent campaign strategy in order to maintain public approval, aligning themselves with their British and American counterparts. They established new communication units within the primeministerial apparatus, consulted with communication professionals to form a coherent communication -
