Moscovici says Eurogroup on Greece overcame an important milestone

Monday’s Eurogroup on Greece overcame an important milestone and was able to make acceptable by everyone on ongoing vigorous program for Greece’s growth, European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici said on Tuesday, during a debate on the negotiations with Greece, at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

“People who participate at the Eurogroup have different political sensitivities. What we achieved yesterday was to overcome the specific milestone, where an ongoing reform program which is robust can be accepted by all of us and form the basis for the return of trust and growth to Greece,” he said.

Moscovici also expressed his belief that an agreement will be achieved at the next Eurogroup on May 24.
