Meeting Targets

Greece is currently unable to meet its targets for budget deficit, that Maastrict require of it. So what does one do? Well fiddle obviously:

Greece will revise upward its gross domestic product for the past six years by as much as 25 percent a quarter by including parts of its underground economy.

The fact that a government's ability to service its debt is not helped by unregistered economic activity is regarded as irrelevant. However, as the EU can't even sign off its own accounts, I guess they can't complain.
