Follow Greece Property Immigration and Greece News: Greece Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos stated in Athens on the 25th that during Greece's presidency of the European Union in the first half of 2014, Greece will make every effort to further promote European integration while also striving to present a true image of Greece to the world.
Venizelos said at a press conference that Greece will take over the presidency at a critical moment, as all of Europe is working to overcome a severe economic crisis and unite for the future. After experiencing six years of economic recession and three years of severe austerity measures, Greece will show the world that the crisis is coming to an end, and Greece is no longer a country in crisis.
As Greece is still implementing fiscal austerity measures, its rotating presidency budget is only about 30 million euros, which is more than half less than the usual rotating presidency budget.
