EP-voorzitter Schulz: Griekenland heeft nu een visie nodig op groei (en)

Met dank overgenomen van Voorzitter Europees Parlement (EP-voorzitter) i, gepubliceerd op vrijdag 9 maart 2012.

Following a debt swap agreement between Greece and private investors, European Parliament President Martin Schulz i made the following statement:

"I welcome the agreement between Greece and investors on a voluntary bond swap. The agreement is a major step towards bringing Greek debt to sustainable levels and towards restoring stability in the euro zone. A successful bond swap agreement is a pre-condition for final approval of the second 130 billion euro aid package for Greece agreed last month.

Greece now needs a growth initiative. It would reinforce efforts to cut debt while giving hope to the people who are losing their jobs and are being thrown into poverty."
