Extractions: NEWS Greece still poorest Despite huge inflows of funds, several regions below EU average By Constantine Kallergis - Kathimerini BRUSSELS - The huge inflows of money from the European Union in the shape of Community Support Framework (CSF) funds have benefited Greece greatly but the country still lags behind others in putting the money to good use, according to an interim report by the European Commission. The report, to be made public in Brussels today, will help shape the dialogue on the reformation of EU regional policies and the future of the CSFs. This future does not look rosy for Greece. The effect of the CSFs, especially the third which covers 2000-2006, has led to an influx of funds that provided a 2.2 percent boost to GDP. This must be compared with Portugal, whose GDP (which is already larger than that of Greece) has benefited by an additional 3.5 percent, probably through better use of funds for development. But comparisons can also be made in the way in which countries have spent funds. Greece has placed priority on infrastructure projects and has watched its GDP grow from 65.9 percent of the EU average in 1995 to 67.7 percent of the average in 2000, when CSFIII began. Ireland, on the other hand, chose to invest EU funds in education, training and other ways to improve the economys work force. This resulted in GDP leaping from 93.2 percent of the EU average in 1995 to 115.2 percent in 2000.

Extractions: Home Greece is situated in southeast Europe on the Mediterranean. The mainland consists of the following regions: Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly (east/central), Epirus (west), Macedonia (north/northwest) and Thrace (northwest). Euboea, the second largest of the Greek islands, lying to the east of the central region, is also considered to be part of the mainland region. Athens is in the region of Attica, which is characterised by calm beaches, and the pinewoods and thyme-covered slopes of Mount Parnes, Hymettus and Pentelico. The city of Athens is dominated by the flat-topped hill of the Acropolis, site of the 2400-year-old Parthenon (one of the most famous classical monuments in the world), the Theatre of Dionysius, the Doric Temple of Heiphaistos, the Roman Forum and Hadrian's Arch. The majority of visitors flock to Greece each year to enjoy the beauty and individuality of the country's Islands - the whitewashed houses spilling down to the harbour, the stunning beaches, the ancient ruins of Roman temples. The Dodecanese islands lie to the southeast of the Greek mainland. Rhodes is one of the most popular and best-developed islands in this chain offering international-class hotels, varied nightlife, sports facilities and duty-free shopping. Crete is the largest and most southerly island with remains of Minoan palaces, Byzantine churches and Venetian castles. It has several lively resorts but its beauty and architectural treasures appeal to the independent traveller also.

It extends out from Southern Europe into the center of the Mediterranean Sea. The Po River valley, in the north, is Italy's main agricultural region and its principal industrial center. The capital city of Rome was once the heart of the Roman Empire. In the 1300s the Renaissance began in Italy. The mainland of Greece sits on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. Another peninsula, the Peloponnesus, extends from the mainland farther south into the Mediterranean Sea. There are also 2,000 islands surrounding the mainland.

The landscapes of mainland Greece are works of art, combining harmoniously contrasting, albeit interesting natural elements. The hinterland of Greece is basically mountainous, covering approximately four fifths of its area, with the remaining 1/5 represents flat land. Imposing massifs with snow capped tops alternate with deep gorges thus enhancing the volume of mountains that, nevertheless, form the backbone of the Greek peninsula from the southern tip of Peloponnese to the northern borders of the country. Forest-clad or bare, the mountains of Greece alternate with large and small, picturesque and fertile valleys and plains creating a unique geomorphology of elevations and depressions that constitute the entire relief of Greece. The canvas of Greece is enhanced with lakes and rivers, unique biotopes, caves (coastal and mountainous), archaeological sites and picturesque settlements attracting thousands of visitors each year. The innate kindness of the people of mainland Greece, their rich and inspiring traditions, festivals and age-old customs, palatable and pure cuisine increase visitors satisfaction all through mainland Greece.

Boyce Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, U.K Abstract A synopsis of the 14 species of Arum recorded for Greece and Cyprus with a key to all relevant infrageneric taxa. The genus Arum consists of 26 species of tuberous herbs occurring from the Azores to western China and from Sweden to Morocco (Boyce, 1989, 1993). Since the publication of a monograph of Arum (Boyce, 1993) a further two, as yet undescribed, species have been discovered in Turkey. In addition this publication includes the recognition of A. orientale Bieb. subsp. sintenisii (Engl.) P.C. Boyce at specific rank as A. sintenisii So far 14 species of Arum have been recorded from Greece and Cyprus, representing almost all of the infrageneric divisions proposed by Boyce (1989). Over half of the species are recorded from the Greek islands and Cyprus; six species are known to occur on the mainland. All Arum species in Greece and Cyprus belong to subgen. Arum (see Boyce, 1989, 1993). The other subgenus
