  • [01] Karamnlis briefs President of the Republic on EU summit results

    Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis said on Monday that the agreement reached early Saturday morning by the European Union leaders during the Brussels summit has sent "a sounding message that it (the Union) can overcome disagreements and differences and forge ahead".

    Karamanlis made the statement after briefing President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias on the outcome of last week's EU summit.

    The premier added that the final result "after concertations that lasted many months and alliances, satisfies us all".

    "We have succeeded in the objectives we had set and we did not lose even one euro, despite the fact that the budget agreed upon is smaller than the one the Luxembourg presidency had proposed (last June)", Karamanlis said.

    President Papoulias, on his part, said "it is very good for Greece", adding "we have avoided what we had been afraid of". He also praised the role played by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

    "Germany helped a lot, while the British Presidency showed a good disposition in relation to its past proposals," Karamanlis said.

    PASOK says gov't 'was not successful in EU Summit'

    Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) spokesman Nikos Athanassakis, in a statement on Monday in reference to last week's European Union (EU) Sumit in Brussels, said that "there is no government success in the Brussels Summit," adding that "the many celebrations by the government may conclude to be for the fairs."

    Athanassakis said that the government's caims that it succeeded in its objectives "are in the air because the government had never said exactly what its objectives were," noting that this is a permanent practice of the New Democracy (ND) government."
