Average of 2,800 asset seizures per day necessary for public revenues authority to meet 2018 targets

An "avalanche" of state-mandated seizures of assets in tandem with the confiscation of bank deposits for arrears to the tax bureau and social security funds is expected over the coming months.

The number of taxpayers with arrears to the Greek state, regardless of the sum, and for whom the authority can initiate immediate collection measures, exceeded 1.744 million by the end of 2017.

More than half of the taxpayers with arrears, 54.1 percent, based on the authority's official figures, owe less than 500 euros; slightly more than 525,000 debtors, in fact, owe between one and 10 euros.

Britain needs to go on a diet, says top health official

The portion sizes of some of Britain's most popular foods are to be cut, with health officials telling the public it is time "to get on a diet".

Public Health England is targeting pizzas, ready meals, processed meat and takeaways, in a new obesity drive.

Hm, wonder how much extra it'll cost us to buy smaller portions?

Sounds as though there's a serious nursing staff shortage at Argostoli hospital, resulting in operations being cancelled.
