<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"According to initial data from an investigation carried out by the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE), the number of jobs lost during the past 18months owing to the closure or relocation of firms and SME's amounts to around 100000. This information naturally gives rise to questions in relation to the report recently published by the Greek national statistical service on unemployment trends in Greece in the second quarter of 2005. The figures published by the office for statistics show that the unemployment rate now stands at 9.6%, having dropped from 10.4% in the first quarter of 2005 and 10.2% in spring 2004.  It should also be borne in mind that there was a drastic fall in public spending in the first year after the Olympic Games, that the pace of economic development in Greece is expected to be much slower this year than in previous years, and that the International Monetary Fund report on the world economic outlook forecasts that the unemployment rate in Greece will stand at 10.5% in 2005 and 2006.  Is the Commission aware of the actual rate of unemployment in Greece in the second quarter of 2005? How can it explain that unemployment is falling when the number of bankruptcies and relocations among small and medium-sized firms is rising? Does the Commission take the view that this fall results from the implementation of structural reforms, or is it due to conjunctural measures (such as the ‘tricks’ used to conceal unemployment, as claimed in the Greek press)?"
