LISBON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva called on Greece to cooperate with Europe and said Portugal had contributed with
millions of euros from taxpayers' pockets to help its neighbors.
"Portugal has shown solidarity with Greece for it to remain in the eurozone nike air max 2017 rabais ," Cavaco Silva said on the sidelines of a public ceremony in Lisbon, according to
Portuguse news agency Lusa.
"As well as the loan we made to Greece amounting to around 1.1 billion euros, Portugal has transferred the product of interest on bonds in possession of the
Bank of Portugal, which has come from the pockets of Portuguese tax payers," he
added.
Cavaco Silva also said Greece could not do "what it pleases" and that the coordination of policies in the eurozone mean that state members have to
coordinate, adding that "the economies are interconnected and influence each
other."
Greece's debt stands at 175 percent of its gross domestic product. Greece's new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has been touring Europe to seek support for
his plans to ease austerity and lowering the debt burden.
Tsipras stuck to a rigid anti-austerity stance on Wednesday during negotiations with European creditors in Brussels and insisted he was still
seeking a new debt deal.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble rejected Tsipiras' bid air max 2017 rabais , while other officials considered extending the repayment deadline for Greece's loan or lowering its interest rate.
Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL - news) 's hotly-anticipated smartwatch is expected to debut Monday as the trend-setting firm sets out to make stylish wrist-worn
computers must-have accessories for modern lifestyles.
Industry trackers say Apple Watch will star at a media event being held at the same San Francisco theater where the California tech giant introduced the
iPad.
Apple's chief executive Tim Cook has revealed little about the sophisticated wrist wear, but has said that he "can't live without it."
The company announced its plans for Apple Watch last year to much fanfare and has said it would begin shipping in April.
It will mark Apple's first new product type since the iPad in 2010.
Apple has indicated that the entry price would be $349 in the United States, and that two different sizes would be available in three collections, including
the "Apple Watch Edition," featuring 18-karat gold cases in yellow or rose,
sapphire crystal and finely crafted bands and closures.
The Apple device will connect with the iPhone nike air max 90 ultra se homme , and also have a range of apps and sensors, notably for health and fitness.
The watch is also expected to include map software that guides people to destinations with gentle "taps" on the wrist.
Fitness apps on the Apple Watch and its rivals could spell trouble for makers of fitness bands from companies like Jawbone, Fitbit and Nike (Sao Paolo:
NIKE34.SA - news) .
"Apple is poised to once again show how computing platforms are won or lost on the one-two punch of eager consumers and hungry ecosystem partners," said
Forrester Research (NasdaqGS: FORR - news) analyst James McQuivey.
Apple reportedly had to scale back health tracking features on the watch after some sensors didn't rise to the challenges.
