Mr Pierrakakis stressed that both the Eurogroup and the Ecofin, under the Polish Presidency of the European Union, is being held at a critical juncture of global economic policy after the US trade duties.

“We will discuss the impact and impact of these international trade events and further discuss the optimal European response to them. “ He said and added: ‘We are fully committed to investigating a mutually useful solution between the European Union and the United States, a mutually beneficial trade agreement.

The Minister of Finance stressed that tomorrow the meeting will focus on funding her European defense.

“Greece has long supported the need for further European defense cooperation. We fully support the Commission’s plan to further strengthen European defense and insist on establishing the escape clause, which we believe is extremely important and inextricably linked to the financing of these defense policy decisions. We, as Ministers of Finance, have a very important responsibility for creating and finding the necessary fiscal space to finance these defense policy solutions.“, He concluded
