Ambassadors

Jenya Mavromati Panayiotis Karafotias IREL-480-9 For my paper I decided to write active the ambassadors of Denmark, The United States of America and Uruguay. His excellence Mr. Tom Norring, the ambassador of Denmark, was angiotensin-converting enzyme of the ambassadors to come this semester. He decided to focus his speech not on his ground but more on the global fiscal crisis and how it affected Greek prudence. He verbalise that even without the crisis the situation in Greece would have been messy. Despite the fact that Maastricht Treaty allows the GDP famine in European countries not more than 3% Greece had deficit 6-7%.Ambassador said that in 2006-2007 the government of Kostas Karamanlis managed to restrain the deficit to the acceptable level, but later in 2008 they failed. Karamanlis hoped that he would be reelected and he promised to restrain the deficit, but people disjointed faith in him. Later George Papandreou revealed the new information nigh the deficit. The deficit for that time was not 8% but 12%. And thus the turn in program was established by the European Union. So Greece took course to the EU and the IMF. They wanted a hard cash and the EU and IMF tried to do with it. Then the restructuring fund was established.The public expenses had to be cut. As ambassador said Greece has one of the biggest public administrations and the cutting of public sector expenses will help to decrease the deficit. He also pointed out that 25% of Greek economy is black economy. The only one thing which he said about his country was that the Denmark is not the part of Eurozone. One of the reasons I enjoyed the speech of Danish ambassador was because he seemed very honest when bawl outing about the topic. When great(p) his speech, he gave personal examples and continuously referred to the audience.The second ambassador was the ambassador of Uruguay, his Excellency Mr. Jose Luis Pombo Morales. He decided to focus his speech on his country and its traffic with Greece and other European countries. Mr. Jose Luis Pombo Morales, talked about political system in Uruguay, that it is arepresentative democraticrepublic with apresidential system. Also, he told us that, the members of government be elected for a five-year terms by auniversal suffragesystem. Uruguay is aunitary state justice, education, health, security, foreign policy, defence mechanism are all administered nationwide.The Executive Power is exercised by thepresidentand acabinetof 13 ministers. Plus to that, Mr. Ambassador talked about Uruguay as one of the biggest wool and meat exporter to the EU countries. Mr. Jose Luis Pombo, told the audience, that Uruguay is one of the most economically create countries in South America, with a highGDPper capita and the 52nd highestquality of flavour indexin the world. Uruguay is rated as the 2nd least corrupt country inLatin America(behind chilli), although Uruguay scores considerably better than Chile on domestic polls of corruption perc eption.Its political and labour conditions are the highest level of freedom on the continent. The third ambassador, I want to talk about, is the ambassador of the United States of America, his Excellency Mr. Daniel Smith. Ambassador focused his speech on Greek- Turkish relations and financial crisis. His speech was very diplomatic, and tried to stay neutrality, when some students asked him questions about problems in Libya and Greek-Turkish conflicts. But, Mr. Smith, gave very clear idea, about the the States and its foreign relations. Also
