Aroni) - Amadeu Altafaj, the spokesman of EU Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, called on to comment during a regular press briefing on Sunday's statements by Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao on the Greek economy, said in Brussels on Monday that "every kind of move that promotes investments in Greece, can help the recovery of the Greek economy."Rehn's spokesman stressed that the European Commission shares the view of the Chinese authorities that Greece can emerge from the crisis, since the country is implementing its economy adjustment programme correctly.
