    Special treatment for Germany discomforts Europe

    Following publication of the latest European Semester country reports assessing the reform efforts made by EU countries, it's apparent that the European Commission is using double standards in its recommendations.

    With elections fast approaching in the Netherlands, France and Germany, there's a real risk that Greece's future gets put to one side. This is not a risk worth taking when many Greek households are already struggling, and with Greece due to make a massive loan repayment in July. The institutions must make progress.
