In a speech at the Bundestag ahead of Friday’s summit, Merkel declared, “For the first time, the European Commission in its autumn forecast observes a significant indication of an economic recovery and I believe that, even though some problems still exist, this is good news. The financial situation of the Eurozone has been improved, as we see primary surpluses in some countries after a long time.”
She noted, “We ascertained positive results in Portugal, Greece and Cyprus, which is under the financial support program,” adding, “the crisis has not fully overcome, but the combination of national solidarity and responsibility is the right way to overcome the crisis permanently.”
