[01] EU Commission welcomes voting of measures in Greek parliament
BRUSSELS (ANA/ M. Aroni) - The European Commission welcomed on Friday

credible strategy that will guarantee the sustainability of the Greek
debt will be sought.
Asked to comment on the voting of the measures, the spokeswoman of the
European Commissioner for Financial Affairs Annika Breidthardt said:
"The preliminary agreement reached between the four institutions and
the Greek authorities early this month has paved the way for the rapid
conclusion of the Greek stability program. The policy package will now
be complemented by further discussions on a credible strategy that will
ensure the sustainability of the Greek debt. We welcome yesterday's vote
in the Greek Parliament on the measures that need to be implemented,
as agreed in the policy package. The approved legislation is carefully
evaluated by our competent services."
