When growth in Europe’s largest port was stifled by a lack of available space, engineers came up with an ingenious expansion project to reclaim a tract of land that is as big as 4,000 football pitches — a feat that is reminiscent of the construction of the sea walls that protect the islands of South Holland, which were built half a century ago. 
Embed a tax into electricity bills: the most recent proposal from the government is an admission of failure of the measures taken in the last year and a half, writes Ta Nea. And the worst of it is that some officials are refusing to implement it. 
With an estranged foreign minister on one side and a less than united coalition on the other, the government of Angela Merkel must steer through an increasingly difficult international context. It's an uncertainty that affects all of Europe. 
Greek debt is now out of control. This disturbing conclusion, issued by a parliamentary committee, comes from Athens itself. Asphyxiated by a recession severer than expected and undermined by the black economy, the country looks unlikely to meet its repayment deadlines. 
How can citizens be forced to pay out €15 million for a shopping centre in a foreign land while seeing their own health services shut down due to budget restrictions? Such is the absurd situation the Irish face right now, a columnist deplores. 
It has the highest GDP per capita rate in the world - and the highest per capita external debt - and the lowest rate on the Happy Planet Index. Above all, it does not want that to change. A visit to the debt-ridden capital of European complacency. 
Faced with the bleak realities of unpaid wages, bankrupt businesses, and mass unemployment, the Greeks are increasingly turning to civil disobedience. Is Greece in the throes of a political paradigm shift? The Guardian reports from Thessaloniki. 
Victor Orban's controversial media law entered fully into force in July. After one month, the upshot is: mass layoffs of critical journalists and the allegation that the head of government is forcing the public media to toe his own line, making his regime ever more authoritarian. 
The flamboyant economy of the noughties failed to survive the explosion of the financial bubble — a setback that early general elections announced for November are unlikely to remedy. 
In a year’s time, the Republic of Cyprus will take over the rotating presidency of the EU. Between now and then, the Turkish Cypriots and the Turkish government want to obtain an agreement on the division of the island. If not they will suspend talks with Europe. 
The new rescue plan agreed by the EU on July 21 has not helped to calm the credit rating agencies. To get out of their impasse, the Greeks must change their methods and push forward a development policy, writes an editorialist.
Italy's sudden weakening in the markets has meant a blow to the credibility of Silvio Berlusconi, who has always said his country is doing fine. Today, with no sign of the Cavaliere, his government is hurriedly pushing through an austerity plan whose usefulness is far from assured.
