Commission committed to help for more growth and jobs in Greece, Moscovici say
Speaking to reporters, ahead of a meeting with Labour Minister George Katrougalos, the Commissioner said: "I am here for meetings with top government ministers. I will meet with Labour minister because Europe's goal is growth and job creation".
During the meeting, Katrougalos briefed the Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner over a reform of the social insurance system currently drafted by the ministry, along with job related issues.
Speaking to reporters, after the meeting, the Labour minister said: "The meeting was held in a good climate and focused on employment and social insurance issues. We had a good response. The pension issue is not just a fiscal adjustment matter but a matter of social justice since pensioners have suffered several cuts. We are close to a target on reforming the social insurance system, but there could be an extension until early December".
