EN - EC Midday Press Briefing - Pierre Moscovici gives an interview to "Εθνος" Greek centre-left newspaper: "The economic situation has deteriorated, (...) this needs to be taken into account when deciding on the fiscal targets" - 03.08.2015 - Commission, Berlaymont Schuman Pressroom, Bruxelles. Journalist: "There is some information circulating as regards a Greek GDP decrease of between 2 and 4%, is that a Commission figure, and where did this figure come from ?" Mina Andreeva: "Let me take this opportunity to draw your attention to an interview which Commissioner Moscovici gave today to Greek newspaper ethnos.gr (Political affiliation: ΠΑΣΟΚ, ethnos.gr/article.asp?catid=22770&subid;=2&pubid;=64228186) where he pointed out that "obviously, the economic situation has deteriorated markedly compared to the beginning of the year, and there is agreement that this needs to be taken into account when deciding on the fiscal targets". So, the fiscal targets and any other macroeconomic and fiscal information is part of the talks that are right now ongoing in Greece because we need to reflect in the negotiations the latest economic and fiscal information available. I am of course also happy to make this interview available to you in English form for those interested, because it gives an update on the talks and so on." © Frédérick Moulin 2015 - EU2015 - Commission - All rights reserved.
