  • [01] EU Commissioner Moscovici sees first signs of Greece's stabilisation

    BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/Chr.Vassilaki) - The European Commission's winter estimates show the first signs of stabilisation of the Greek economy, EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said on Thursday.

    He underlined that despite the fact that Greece will record recession in 2016, it will be smaller than expected in the autumn forecast, which, as he said, is a "positive development." Despite the difficult last year, these are the first signs of recovery, said the French Commissioner and added that "the improved forecasts should not stop the efforts or lose the last months' momentum."

    "The implementation of reforms is the key," he noted. Moscovici did not hide, however, his concern over the negative impact of a possible new resurgence of the Greek crisis on the world economy.

    Referring to the negotiations held in Athens between Greek authorities and the representatives of institutions, he said that the Commission will continue "its pressure to quickly complete the first program review", stressing, however, that "both sides share the responsibility."

    [02] Refugees and migrants continue to arrive on Lesvos despite the adverse weather conditions

    Refugees and migrants arrivals on Lesvos island continued on Thursday despite the gusty southerly winds and low temperatures prevailing in the area.

    2,000 migrants and refugees, among them a large number of women and children, arrived from Wednesday until Thursday morning on the island.

    The ferry "Eleftherios Venizelos" is docked at Mytilene port to host 1,500 migrants and refugees until the conclusion of the Seamen Federation strike on Saturday and the ferry sets sail for Piraeus port.
