Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Venizelos’ doorstep statement on arrival at today’s EU General Affairs Council (Brussels, 13 May 2014)

E. VENIZELOS: The General Affairs Council has to prepare, during this session, the upcoming European Council of June. We have the two main pillars of European policy: Freedom and Justice, and also Growth, Competitiveness and Job Creation. Ten days before the European elections, it is our duty to present the new European narrative – to give an attractive answer for the new European generation. This is the main political and social problem for us now.
