AJE speaks to Jan Randolph on Greek debt crisis

Greece will remain in the eurozone but must meet its reform commitments in full, Jose Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Commission, has said.

In an annual address to the European parliament on Wednesday, Barroso countered persistent talk of Athens leaving the 17-nation bloc, saying: "Greece is, and will remain, a member of the euro area."

But "Greece must implement its commitments in full and on time," he stressed, pledging also that Europe would not let Athens down.
