Customs officials and tax inspectors in Greece are holding a two-day strike to protest against government austerity measures, including wage cuts.The strike is disrupting Greece's import market, with lines of trucks being held at the country's borders. The austerity measures have been introduced to try and tackle Greece's huge budget deficit and national debt. The EU approved the plan on Wednesday, but insisted on inspecting Greece's notoriously unreliable accounts. Part of the government's plan relies on tax collectors recovering billions of euros lost to tax evasion.
