[01] EU: No extra measures eyed
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA) -- The European Commission on Monday categorically
dismissed press reports claiming that EU Economic and Monetary Affairs
Commissioner Olli Rehn was expected to visit Greece by the end of this
month to demand additional austerity measures by the Greek government
this year.
Speaking to reporters, Amadeo Altafaj, a spokesman for Rehn, emphasised
that "the Commissioner is not intending to visit Greece at this stage
or to ask for additional measures."
Altafaj said Greece was satisfactory implementing a fiscal
consolidation programme and stressed that the Commission has no
intention to ask for alterations to this programme.
