Estonia will hold the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2017.

[02] Greece has a strong negotiating position, gov't spokesman Tzanakopoulos says

As he said, the goal is a clear solution to the Eurogroup on June 15, in order to pave the way for the country's participation into the ECB's quantitative easing programme.

"On June 15, we will do our best for an overall agreement and put an end to questions over the IMF participation in the programme," Tzanakopoulos said, adding that this would fully change the image of the Greek economy.

The government spokesman underlined that the political forces all over Europe, as well as the foreign media, support Greece's political and moral right for a solution so that the country exits the impasse.

A mark of dedication to the democratic ideas and the principles of the parliamentary republic, as well as the defence of our country in terms of practical consistency and consensus,"Pavlopoulos said.
