[02] Commission pleased with progress in Greek hotspots, says spokeswoman
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ M. Aroni) - The European Commission is pleased with
the progress made in the construction of the so-called "hotspots" on the
Greek islands which is continuing, based on the country's commitments,
spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said on Tuesday during a press briefing
in Brussels.
Asked to comment on an announcement by the Greek authorities that four
out of five registration and identification centers are ready, Andreeva
said the Commission has staff in site to inspect the progress.
She also said European services have been mobilized at all levels to
help Greece operate those centers soon, adding that prime Minister
Alexis Tsipras is expected to brief European leaders on the issue in
the upcoming Summit, after which the Commission's staff will be able to
review the situation.
