Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is currently in Brussels for a one-day summit with EU leaders on energy, innovation and economy. The meeting is being chaired by the Hungarian EU presidency on Friday.
The EU heads of state will discuss ways to link European energy networks, increase energy efficiency and reduce import dependence.
In comments before the summit, Papandreou said the challenge for Europe and the eurozone is to manage certain “systemic problems” in the latter’s economies. He added that the current summit and another in March will be significant for establishing the conditions to create a permanent solution.
A key objective of the negotiations will be the establishment of a single energy market.
The summit will deal with stimulating innovation and European economic reform issues, as well as the situation in Egypt and Tunisia.
