#2  Yes - it is a net recipient of EU funding. Which is either a good thing (if you are pro-unification, on the theory that leveling differences is Good) or a bad thing (if you either think that market forces are more efficient as a way to make progress or if you are one of the taxpayers being screwed donors

#1  Unions striking over unemployment, inflation, pensions, and social security. Government under pressure from the EU to cut spending or face cuts of billions of euros by 2007. Is this the EU the Greeks want?
