[01] PM in Brussels for EU Special Summit on energy, innovation (Adds)
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA) -- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is
currently in Brussels for a one-day summit of EU leaders on energy,
innovation and economy chaired by the Hungarian EU presidency on
Friday.
The EU heads of state and government will discuss ways to link European
energy networks, increase energy efficiency and reduce import
dependence.
In comments before the summit, Papandreou said the challenge for Europe
and the eurozone is to manage certain "systemic problems" in the
latter's economies, adding that the current summit and another in March
will be significant for establishing the conditions to create a
permanent solution.
A key objective of the negotiations will be the establishment of a
single energy market.
The summit will deal with stimulating innovation and European economic
reform issues, as well as the situation in Egypt and Tunisia.
