[01] Rehn: More measures to cut Greek deficit
(ANA-MPA) -- EU Commissioner Olli Rehn on Monday tersely said that
additional measures must be taken by the Greek government in order to
meet a Stability & Growth Programme target of cutting its double-digit
budget deficit by four percentage points in 2010.
Rehn's comments came during a highly anticipated press briefing at the
European Commission's offices in downtown Athens, following a whirlwind
round of contacts with top Greek ministers, the Bank of Greece governor
and PM George Papandreou earlier in the day.
