Tuesday, 21 February 2017
Eurogroup ministers recognize the exceptional performance of the Greek economy and this is why Greece and its partners agreed to the return of the mission chiefs in Athens next week, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said on Monday, adding that the agreement will not contain a single euro of additional austerity.
“All sides accept and recognize the exceptional performance of the Greek economy and this is the reason we managed to reach an agreement with structural reforms as its main outline, which will not have even one euro of budgetary impact – that is, not a single euro of additional austerity,” the spokesman told Alpha TV station in an interview right after the completion of the Euogroup meeting in Brussels.
