The viability of the Greek debt and the financing gap for the years 2015-2016 will be discussed “from the summer onwards,” European Commission Vice-President Ollie Rehn said in an interview.

A return of troika representatives to Athens before the 9th December Eurogroup is not foreseen was the statement made by Simon O'Connor, spokesperson for Olli Rehn, European Commissioner responsible for Economic and Monetary Affairs.

High unemployment and the lack of liquidity in the market for the support of small and medium-sized enterprises are the main problems of the Greek economy, which the European Commission believes, "will stabilize in 2014 and revert to a positive growth rate."
