Barroso: Fiscal changes and reforms in Greece 'very impressive'
STRASBOURG (ANA/MPA-N.Roussis) -- European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso called the fiscal changes and reforms applied in Greece in the last years extremely impressive, speaking before the European Parliament plenum on Wednesday in Strasbourg.
In the opening of his speech, Barroso referred to the current situation in the European Union and said that after the impressive changes that took place in Greece in the last three years, the country is close to having a primary surplus.
Referring to the picture of the Greek economy before the crisis, he reiterated that at that time all the eminent economists were almost certain that Greece would leave or would be forced to leave the eurozone and that that would have a domino effect on other eurozone country members.
"However, nothing like that happened," Barroso concluded.
