Meeting of the Eurogroup heads of state and government | Prime Minister’s statement before the meeting
PRIME MINISTER’S PRESS OFFICE
Brussels, May 7, 2010
The Greek people have endured the strain and the pain of the economic crisis during the last few months, yet both the government and the Greek people are absolutely determined to change the path for Greece, to make the path one of stability and growth.
Only yesterday we took very strong measures, an adjustment package, with a majority in Parliament, showing the will to move forward. And we are determined to move forward. We have done our part.
At the same time, there is unprecedented volatility throughout the world, in the world economy. That is why today’s meeting here in Brussels is so important. We will reaffirm our confidence in our economies and our common currency.
And this, I believe, is a very important message for the global economic recovery, a recovery that will bring back growth, jobs, welfare to our people, to our citizens in our countries, and to all of Europe.
We can do this. We must do this. We will do this together. Thank you.
