-- After a one-and-a-half year old boy who had not been
vaccinated died of measles in Berlin, the German Child Welfare

changed its negotiating strategy with the euro-partners in the
battle for more financial support.
Concerned that the national parliaments of some countries,
including German parliament, may refuse the planned extension of
credit support, Athens worked in the preparation of the required
reforms closely with the partners.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:
-- German train drivers union GDL will initially not call for

(DB).
As the union announced, the meeting will begin on Thursday. In
informal talks, both sides may agree on the structure of a new
collective labor agreement with which the GDL can also be
responsible for on-board accompanying staff. Enditem
