European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso on Tuesday suggested the EU agree "emergency" measures to pump up the Greek economy by swiftly unlocking up to one billion euros from the bloc's budget.
"I'd like to ask the European council to discuss what we can do to assist Greece beyond its consolidation efforts to enhance competitiveness and address the urgent problem unemployment," Barroso said at a news conference held ahead of an EU summit, or council, Thursday and Friday.
