"I would like to insist that Greece is a special case, especially now in this period. We should not look at the Greek case as something that would be a template for others. We are much luckier than that and the Greek situation requires very specific treatment. I was in Greece twice earlier this year and also spoke with the trade unions – there was a European trade union conference in Athens.
I spoke last week with the head of the new task force which was established in July, and urged Mr Reichenbach to speak to the social partners as early as possible. I also believe it is right to maintain the role of the social partners. However, the role of the social dialogue and collective bargaining in an emergency situation cannot be the same as in normal situations. The emergency is an emergency and there are specificities in that. I think it is very important that Greece receives sufficient support from other European countries and other sources, like the IMF for example, but it is also important that Greece delivers in terms of reforms and transformation because otherwise, we will never arrive at a sustainable situation.
It is in the interests of all parties involved to work for a more sustainable, stronger structure with Greece involved."@en1
