PM Samaras: Juncker’s Investment Package Marks EU Turning to Growth

The EU Summit was particularly important for the European Union’s orientation to a growth direction, according to Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. The Premier agreed on speeding up the process for making use of EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker‘s 315-billion-euro investment plan, and in his statements after the summit he noted that Greece was one the first three countries that have submitted projects for the funds’ absorption. A Prime Minister’s aide said the EU leaders want the situation in Greece to develop smoothly and maintain political stability since they are afraid, among others, that the shocks in case of destabilization would affect other countries as well. He added, however, that in order for the review to be concluded, there must be an agreement on the “day after,” as well as put forward the consideration of the debt sustainability.
