Majority in Greece wants Clinton tried for war crimes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A majority of Greeks wants President Clinton to face war crimes
charges for his role in the Kosovo conflict, while just 14 per cent
want President Slobodan Milosevic tried, an opinion poll showed
yesterday.
The poll showed 69.7 per cent of Greeks want Mr Clinton tried and
35.2 per cent want the British Prime Minister, Mr Blair, also charged
over NATO's campaign of air strikes against Yugoslavia.
But only 14 per cent believe Mr Milosevic should face international
sanctions for his role in the repression and expulsion of Kosovo's
ethnic Albanian population.
The poll was carried out by the ICAP Institute, which questioned a
representative sample of 1,000 Greeks between April 29th and May 5th.
Around 13 per cent also want to see the NATO commander, Gen Wesley
Clark, tried for war crimes and 9.6 per cent the NATO Secretary
General, Mr Javier Solana.
Nearly 85 per cent attributed the NATO operation to a US "show of
force" and only 2.5 per cent saw it as a reaction to "ethnic
cleansing".
The poll published in Greek newspapers yesterday confirmed the
overwhelming opposition of Greeks - 99.5 per cent - to the NATO
action in Yugoslavia, which began on March 24th.
The Greek press gives full coverage to NATO "atrocities" while
glossing over the fate of the hundreds of thousands of ethnic
Albanian refugees. Greece - a NATO member - enjoys good relations
with Serbia and the majority of its people are Eastern Orthodox
Christians.
Faced with massive opposition at home, the Greek government has
called for an end to the air campaign and for priority to be given to
a diplomatic push for peace.
Greece's ruling Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok) has gained
ground on the conservative opposition two weeks before the June
European elections, but a large number of Greeks are still undecided,
two opinion polls showed.
A Metron Analysis poll published in the daily, Ta Nea, yesterday gave
Pasok 29.4 per cent support and the opposition New Democracy 31.4 per
cent. Some 36 per cent of voters said they had faith in Pasok to
manage the economy best, compared to 24.3 per cent who thought New
Democracy would do a better job.
Another poll, by pollsters Opinion and published in Eleftherotypia,
said Pasok had 27.4 per cent support and New Democracy 29.5 per cent,
with 11.6 per cent still undecided.

Viagra curb is ruled unlawful
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Britain: The British government may face a multi-million-pound
damages claim over the anti-impotence drug Viagra after its original
decision to restrict NHS supplies of the drug was ruled unlawful by
the High Court yesterday. Viagra's manufacturer, Pfizer, is
considering suing the government for loss of profits. It may also
mount a legal challenge to the current prescribing restrictions,
which limit the drug to just 17 per cent of impotence sufferers.
The High Court ruling could lead to other drug companies which have
had their treatments restricted on the NHS also mounting challenges
to the government.
Mr Justice Collins ruled that interim guidance to GPs by the Health
Secretary, Mr Frank Dobson, not to prescribe Viagra when it was first
licensed in the UK last September broke domestic and European law.
He said Mr Dobson had unlawfully interfered with a GP's ethical and
contractual duty to exercise professional judgment on whether
patients should receive the drug.
The judge gave Pfizer leave to pursue a damages claim for loss of
profit from the time the health service circular containing the
guidance was sent out.
