[01] Dijsselbloem: Greece faces more fundamental problems than other EU
states with reform programs
BRUSSELS (ANA/C. Vasilaki) – Greece faces more fundamental problems
than the other EU member-states that joined a bailout program in recent
years, Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Tuesday, during
a speech at an event organized by Belgian newspaper L'Echo in Brussels.
Commenting about the country, he said it has "more fundamental problems,
economic and institutional" and that "trust continues to be a major issue"
both between member-states but also "from consumers and investors in
the stability of the Greek economy."
Dijsselbloem also said that the Greek crisis, "after hitting rock bottom
in the summer of 2015", has entered a phase of de-escalation. "We have
entered into a constructive dialog with Greek authorities on the third
program. Growth has returned and cooperation is proceeding, although not
as fast as many people – including the Greek government – would wish
to," he added.
