“The success of the Greek programme will be a success for all of Europe and for the eurozone,” Venizelos said, adding, “Our message is that no European citizen lost a single euro from the Greek crisis – loans and guarantees were provided and they are being serviced regularly.”

Almost all of Greece’s prior presidencies, including the present one, occurred during large waves of EU expansion, the FM said, “that is why we are focused on the future of European integration, and on seeking an answer that will cover all of Europe – North and South.”

Speaking about the Greek crisis, he noted that in 2009 Greece had a primary deficit of 12 percentage points on the GDP, and today it has a primary surplus. Therefore, “we expect that in 2014 we will have a positive rate of growth, so that we may be able to repair the injustices carried out during the phase of rapid adjustment on sensitive segments of Greek society.”
