[01] Kouvelis: PM must propose issue of eurobond at EU summit
AMNA-- The Greek government, regardless of its limited abilities
in its caretaker capacity, must take advantage of the international
environment and put forward a series of proposals that could relieve the
Greek society, moblise the production engine, and boost employment and
halt the galloping unemployment, Democratic Left (DIMAR) leader Fotis
Kouvelis said on Monday after a meeting with caretaker prime minister
Panagiotis Pikrammenos, who is holding separate talks throughout the
day with political party leaders ahead of an EU summit on Wednesday.amna
In that direction, the caretaker prime minister must propose the
issue of a eurobond, "as DIMAR has insisted from the very beginning",
seek relaxation of the fiscal adjustment through extension of the time,
propose direct financing of the member states from the European Central
Bank (ECB) and insist on the need for boosting the funds for the European
Investment Bank (EIB).
