Labor boost from third countries
At least 18,500 citizens from countries outside the European Union now work legally in Greece.
Although the needs are great and in total the relevant ministries have approved the repatriation of at least 200,000 workers with two decisions, according to Labor Minister Domna Michailidou, 14,000 immigrants from third countries have been legalized. This was helped, of course, mainly by the change in the law, which enabled the legalization of immigrants who are already in the country. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1236276/labor-boost-from-third-countries/

Steam trains face end of the line in Britain after row over slamming doors
Some of Britain’s last steam trains are in danger of disappearing from the railways following a row over the door locks on 60-year-old carriages.
West Coast Railways, the biggest operator of steam and classic diesel trains on the national network, said its business was in the balance following the move by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to scrap an exemption that allowed it to use traditional hinged-door carriages.
The safety watchdog banned the popular steam-hauled Jacobite train service – dubbed the “Hogwarts Express” for its appearance in the Harry Potter franchise – in January because the doors on its 60-year-old carriages don’t have central locking. The ORR was concerned that passengers could open the doors themselves while the train was moving, risking injury.
The ban threatens not just the Hogwarts Express, which has run every summer for 30 years along the West Highland line, but also many of West Coast Railways’s other historic trains.
The company operates 60pc of all main line heritage rolling stock in the UK, comprising 125 coaches. Fitting new locks across the fleet would cost an estimated £7m, a bill that commercial manager James Shuttleworth said was both unjustified and beyond its resources. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/04/11/steam-trains-face-end-line-britain-row-over-slamming-doors/

Greek Authorities, EU Probe Fraud in Contracts Worth 2.5 Billion Euros
In what could be another scandal, Greece’s Competition Commission and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) are reportedly looking into 2.5 billion euros ($2.67 billion) in EU funded contracts given to 10 companies to see if there was fraud.
Those include three telecommunications firms – Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova – as well as five Information Technology (IT) companies and two consulting companies raided by Greek investigators in March, said the news site POLITICO. https://www.thenationalherald.com/greek-authorities-eu-probe-fraud-in-contracts-worth-2-5-billion-euros/
