Highlighting the major sacrifices made by the Greek people from 2010 until the present, Venizelos said the Greek EU presidency intended to send a strong message, highlighting the positive signals that the crisis was finally ending after a lengthy and difficult time of effort. Among such signs, he pointed to the country’s primary surplus, which he said was the highest in the Eurozone at 6 pct of GDP.

“It is not easy. But it is important that Greece no longer appears to the European family and internationally as a country in crisis but as a country that is institutionally equal, as an old member-state of the EU and the Eurozone; a sovereign, independent and proud state that is experiencing the repercussions of the crisis but has the right to hope for the restoration of its normality,” he said.
