The European Commission is still evaluating the measures announced by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici on Thursday said upon his arrival at the meeting of the European Socialists party in Brussels.
He added that everyone who shares the same view must assume his responsibilities. He underlined that the decision for the debt relief is solid and is based on the conclusion of the first programme review so it cannot be questioned. "These factors continue to exist," he said and added that we cannot connect the debt relief, which is necessary, with the social cohesion.
