Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras presented his country's priorities for its six months at the European Parliament to MEPs on 15 January 2014. The presidency, which started on 1 January, will focus on boosting growth and jobs, the banking union and an immigration policy based on more solidarity. At the start of the Parliamentary debate, President Barroso stressed the main priorities shared by the Commission and the Greek Presidency, and the strong determination of both to succeed. He also clarified the Commission's position on free movement of people and on the Single Resolution Mechanism. Mr Barroso also called for an open idea of Europe, away from narrow and "chauvinistic" perspectives which might be seen, according to EurActiv, as criticism to the British stances on the EU. |
