  Central Europe Review - Immigration: Albanians in Greece
In the period 1991-1998, there was no concrete migration policy, as the country was still considered to be a net "exporter" of population.[4] Specialist institutions, such as advice centres for the legal, social and economic orientation of immigrants (especially children), hardly existed.
Greece has viewed this rapprochement with alarm, because she is afraid of the expansion of the Turkish influence in the Balkans, and the potential formation of an "Islamic Arc" (Albania - Bosnia - Turkey) which would run through her borders.
Besides, Greece is still considered an enemy in the Albanian collective conscience, as Hohxa, the former Communist dictator, had cultivated the idea that the country is surrounded by hostile powers ready to dismember her.

This compounds the problems the EU has with Greece's budget calculations after it identified "systemic" issues with the way Athens counts its public spending.
Greece had hoped that these measures and two years of an austerity package would help bring it closer to the 3 percent limit set by EU budget rules.
Last year it revised Greece's 2004 deficit upward to 6.9 percent, inflated by government spending on the Athens Olympics.

 Case Study
Greece cites both the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf and its successor, the 1982 Law of the Sea (LOS) Convention in support of their argument; two conventions in which Turkey incidentally did not participate.
With the discovery of oil by Greece in 1973 off the coast of Thassos, a northern Aegean island, the continental shelf issue was thrust to the center stage of the historical dispute in the Aegean.
Greece desired language that sought delimitation by agreements only, knowing that it would receive the continental shelf it was already claiming, unless a different agreement with Turkey occurred; an unlikely event.

In the assisted suicide case, he said, "To assume the same level of statutory deference would be given to the attorney general's interpretation after the Supreme Court had already, in essence, invited Oregon to have its own debate and reach its own conclusion was unfortunate and an incorrect assumption."

 SEVEN LETTERS EXCHANGED BETWEEN THE CENTRAL COMMITTEES OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA AND THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE ...
(2) The Chinese Communist Party consistently advocates and actively supports the convening of a meeting of representatives of all Communist and Workers' Parties.
These documents show that there are serious differences in the communist movement, differences in the understanding and interpretation of the fundamental theses of the Declaration and the Statement of the Moscow meetings.
Particularly disquieting is the fact that the differences on ideological questions are being transferred to interstate relations and are manifesting themselves in the field of concrete policies, thus shaking the friendship and unity of the peoples of the socialist community and weakening the anti-imperialist front.
