[01] Tsipras, Cameron discuss Eurozone, Ukraine crisis
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ S. Sideris) Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had
a meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron in Brussels
on Thursday, on the sidelines of the EU summit. According to Greek
government sources, Cameron said he was closely following the talks
concerning Greece's programme and noted the need for stability in the
Eurozone. He also offered the UK's assistance in providing knowhow on
improving tax inspection mechanisms and fighting tax evasion in Greece.
During the meeting, the British prime minister said that Greece and the
Eurozone must work together to find a solution, British government sources
said. Cameron urged Greece and the Eurozone to act with responsibility
and expressed concern that a new crisis in Eurozone could negatively
impact the British economy.
The two prime ministers additionally discussed developments in Ukraine
and the need to secure peace and stability in the region. British sources
said that Tsipras agreed that the EU must examine the situation arising
after the ceasefire agreed in Minsk, before re-examining the possibility
of new sanctions.
"Tsipras told Cameron that Greece wishes to preserve the EU's unity
against Russian aggressiveness," the UK sources said.
