Tsipras received European Commissioner responsible for the Regional Policy Corina Cretu on Tuesday at the Maximos mansion and thanked her for her efforts and her personal contribution noting that the government will try to make an efficient use of those very important funds for the Greek economy.

After the meeting, Cretsu said that Tuesday is a very important day because the europarliament is expected to vote the extraordinary measures for Greece following a Commission's proposal in order the country to be able to face the liquidity problem through the increase of the European funding at 100 percent of the pending works (up to date the funds' absorption is 91 pct). She said that her meeting with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was fruitful and congratulated him for his re-election.

The European Commissioner said that 2 billion euros will be disengaged immediately after the issue of the decision.

"Now it is time for action" said Cretu to Tsipras because the European Commission did whatever possible on its part, everything in now on the table and the measures should be implemented quickly.
