Eurostat's figures confirm that the Greek economy is outperforming as it has returned to growth, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday said during a meeting with EU Commission for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici.

It was natural for Greece's partners to expect that the country meet its commitments but only these and not constant additional demands, European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici indicated in an interview with the Greek daily "Real News" on Sunday.

The European Commission aims at the conclusion of the second programme review before the Eurogroup on January 26, EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici's spokeswoman Annika Breidthardt on Tuesday said.
