EU President Barosso Says Greece Has Commission’s Suport

European Commission President Jose Barroso said he expects the number of countries using the euro as a currency to increase rather than decrease, referring to scenarios that Greece would abandon the euro.

“Regarding rumors in recent weeks, I would like to say categorically that participation in the euro area is expected to increase further and not decrease,” Barroso wrote in an article published in Kathimerini newspaper.
