COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS AND THE EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK Growth for Greece

''Greece is going through an economic and social crisis which is unprecedented in Europe in 

modern times. To get through it and to rebuild a successful economy will require a united 

national commitment by the population and their political leaders – only Greece can put itself 

on a different path for the future. The underlying causes of the crisis had been building up for

social cohesion and delivering on the expectations of Greek citizens.''
