BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA) -- European Commissioner Jose Manuel Barroso on
Thursday replied to a letter from Prime Minister George Papandreou on
accelerating the disbursement of Community funds to Greece, saying he
intends to set up a special task force to provide technical assistance
to the EU member-state and to improve absorption of EU structural and
cohesion funds.
Barroso also asked Papandreou to name a contact person that will
coordinate the efforts of the Commission and Greek authorities to this
end, with the Greek prime minister forwarding the name of former top
European Commission official Giorgos Glynos. (ANA-MPA)
